Old Telegraph Station

Inside the 3,340 hectare Eucla National Park along the Nullarbor, you’ll find the ever-expanding and contracting Delisser Sandhills. These sandy dunes have never been the same since a rabbit plague passed through the area in 1890, leading to a loss of the vegetation that covered the dunes. This caused dramatic movements in the sand that have repeatedly covered and uncovered the now abandoned telegraph station.

More often than not, you’ll only be able to see the station’s chimney rising from ground but every now and again, the shifting sands will roll away to reveal the whole ruin.

After telegraph station spotting, make sure you also take a walk along the stunning beach to check out the now derelict and somewhat haunting jetty.
