Ceduna to Eucla road trip: Distance, time and best attractions
Ceduna to Eucla drive via Fowlers Bay
The next worthwhile turn-off from the Eyre Highway is 46km west of Penong, towards Fowlers Bay. Probably the most attractive village on the Nullarbor, Fowlers Bay offers displays on whaling and telegraph history. There are also massive sand dunes to explore, and EP Cruises offers whale-watching cruises in the winter months.
They’re best in the winter months, when the southern right whales use the bay as a nursery.
Road trip essentials that many travellers forget
Search on the web, and you’ll find ludicrously long lists of equipment to take on a road trip. Australia Travel Questions isn’t going to do that to you. But it is worth buying the following road trip items before setting off. Click through for a good range of options.
- Charging cables – yes, you’ll probably need a spare at some point.
- Car charger adaptor – in case your rental car has the old-fashioned cigarette lighter rather than a USB.
- Multi USB charger – for those hotel rooms that don’t have enough power sockets.
- Fold-up chairs – to make anywhere a picnic spot.
- A really good water bottle – go for a bigger one than usual to last the longer drives.
- Packing cubes – save space but, more importantly, avoid unpacking everything every night.
