Ceduna to Eucla road trip: Distance, time and best attractions

The Ceduna to Eucla drive across the Nullarbor from South Australia to Western Australia is 493km in distance. Expect a driving time of 5h9m – or more if your road trip detours to Point Sinclair and Fowlers Bay.

The Ceduna to Eucla drive is one visitors to Australia will encounter if driving from Adelaide to Perth.

It’s such an epic road trip that you have to pick where you’re staying along the way very carefully.

Ceduna, the last town in South Australia before the Nullarbor starts in earnest, and Eucla just over the Western Australian border, are arguably the best choices along the way.
