As we have both become twitcher's, we had the opportunity to go to the Eyre Bird Observatory. This is a good 30k's of the main road (you know the one your on number 1), and is only 4wd. So we left the Turtle at Cocklebiddy roadhouse and set off early to spend an hour looking around..wrong!! The road is only 4wd...and means it, it took us just over an hour to get to what was the old telegraph station house. This beautiful place is set up for visitors ($90 per person all food included), and we were very annoyed that we had not known about it before as we would have loved to have stayed. The operation is run by volunteers Beverly and John. They were a lovely couple and were to be based there for 7 months..this was there third visit, most informative.
We did get to see some of the bird life and had a general walk around.. we found this plaque so included Fowlers Bay into our trip, more on that later.
The beach was long and had some interesting flotsam and jetsam.
This was the site of the original telegraph station house... not much left but interesting. We were very sorry to have to leave so soon as we really enjoyed ourselves and the company.. put it on your list, we would have stayed if it was not for poor Turtle sitting on the road side ..not a good look.. we got back in time to get close to the border for the next day's travel.
