Hassie Australian Adventure Spot 7 - Eucla


Our last spot before we leave our home state Western Australia. It really set in that we are actually traveling now. We are VERY far from home, 11km away from the South Australian border. 

Eucla is very small place as all the different 'towns' we came across, in the 2006 census it had a population 86. 

We stayed at the Eucla Caravan Park which cost us $15 for an unpowered site. We really was just planning on sleeping and since there is no reception we couldn't do much anyway. 

I quite liked Eucla, its small but had a lot of history behind it and you could explore it not far from you campsite. E and I didn't as we both had a long day of driving and promised that when we drive back home we will stop and explore. 

Something I need to share is the showers - E and I liked the idea of the showers and how you payed $1 for water. It gave you 5min worth of water. Its such a great idea, out of all the little 'towns' we stayed in WA none had this and they all ask that you have a short shower to ensure we save water. Now Eucla has the right plan to ensure it does happen. 

For this time around Eucla get a 2 out of 5 carrots. We will be back and maybe it will get more.

On a different note - just to inform those of you who are traveling from WA to SA, no one told us this us you don't actually have to declare any of you food at the border. for the Western Australian quarantine check is only in Ceduna (492km east of the border). So don't cook and throw away all your food. You can still enjoy it for a few km.
