Cocklebiddy

Cocklebiddy is a remote roadhouse community along Western Australia's Eyre Highway, approximately 1,163 kilometers east of Perth. Serving as a vital stopover for travelers crossing the Nullarbor Plain, it offers essential services, including a roadhouse, caravan park, and budget motel accommodations. The area is renowned for its underground caves, notably the Cocklebiddy Cave, a 6-kilometer-long passage primarily submerged and accessible only to experienced cave divers. Nearby, the Eyre Bird Observatory, situated 49 kilometers south, provides basic camping facilities and is home to over 230 bird species. The observatory is housed in the historic Eyre Telegraph Station, operational from 1897 to 1929, and offers a unique opportunity to experience the region's natural beauty and history.
