Eucla, Administrative division in Shire of Dundas, Australia.
Located at the intersection of Western Australia and South Australia, Eucla sits within the vast expanse of the Nullarbor Plain near the Great Australian Bight.
The establishment of the telegraph station in 1897 marked the beginning of Eucla's role as a communication hub between Western Australia and South Australia.
The region maintains strong connections to both Indigenous Australian traditions and the historical legacy of early European telecommunications development in the area.
Travelers along the Eyre Highway find essential services including fuel stations, accommodation options, and dining facilities that support long-distance journeys across the Nullarbor.
The former telegraph station buildings remain partially buried under moving sand dunes, creating an unusual landscape that records the passage of time.
