Eyre Bird Observatory, Bird observatory and heritage site in Nuytsland Nature Reserve, Western Australia.
The limestone building of Eyre Bird Observatory stands one kilometer north of the Great Australian Bight, surrounded by mallee woodland and coastal vegetation.
The site began as Eyre Telegraph Station in 1877, serving as a repeater station for the Inter-Colonial Telegraph Line until its relocation in 1927.
Scientists and researchers at the observatory document and study 245 bird species, contributing to Australian ornithological knowledge and conservation efforts.
Visitors require a four-wheel drive vehicle to access the observatory from Eyre Highway, with pickup services available for guests staying multiple nights.
The facility recorded Western Australia's lowest temperature of -7.2°C on August 17, 2008, demonstrating the extreme climate variations in this semi-arid region.
