Eyre Highway

The Eyre Highway is a highway linking Western Australia and South Australia. It forms part of Highway 1 and the Australian National Highway network linking Perth and Adelaide. Its route number is 1 in Western Australia and A1 in South Australia. It is also one of the world's longest highway with a distance of approximately 2,700km, roughly as far as London to Moscow.

Westwards, the Eyre Highway starts at Adelaide, South Australia and ends in Norseman, Western Australia and the National Route 94 continues to the gold town of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia and then as Canberra.

Eyre Peninsula. A vast region of South Australia with national parks, historic buildings, spectacular coastline and beaches. An alternative way (National Alternative Route 1) to reach Ceduna before the Nullabor Crossing.

Ceduna . Western most big town in South Australia, located near the Great Australian Bight. Offers fishing and whale watching between May and September. Last chance to stock up on water, fuel and food: Ceduna is effectively the start of the Nullarbor Plain.

Nullabor Plains . The long, flat Nullarbor gets its name from Latin for 'no trees'. It is a long and arduous trip across Nullabor Plains (a desert). Petrol is expensive and as scarce as fresh water in these parts. Road hazards include fatigue and at nightime, kangaroos darting across the highway.

Spectacular coastline of Great Australian Bight is just a short detour south of the highway in many places, and fantastic sunsets and sunrises will be seen. On the average the settlements are 200 to 300 kilometers apart.

Norseman. Officially the end of the Eyre Highway, it is a small town and a junction of the Eyre Highway and the Coolgardie-Esperance Highway. Northwards to Perth via Kalgoorlie and southwards to Albany.
