Eucla Attractions
Eucla (pop. under 200) is a tiny outpost of civilization in the solitude of the Nullarbor Plain.
From the hill there are views of the ruins of the old telegraph repeater station and settlement, now almost covered by sand, and the Southern Ocean. Eucla lost its function with the opening of the transcontinental telephone line along the Indian-Pacific railroad line, 100km north. From the Eucla motel and roadhouse there is a rough track to the remains of the telegraph station.

Eucla National Park
3340ha.
Eucla National Park is mainly an area of mallee scrub and heath vegetation. From Wilson Bluff, a striking limestone crag, there are superb views of the rocky cliff-fringed coast of the Great Australian Bight and the Delisser Sandhills (which can also be seen from the Eyre Highway).
