Observatory Turnoff Rest Area

At a Glance

About

A roadside rest area located along the Eyre Highway near Cocklebiddy in Western Australia, the Observatory Turnoff Rest Area is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Positioned along one of Australia's longest and most remote stretches of highway, it offers drivers a place to pull off the road and take a break. Details on specific facilities are limited, so travellers should plan ahead and not rely on amenities being available on site. Given the remote nature of this section of the Eyre Highway, stopping here to rest before continuing is a practical consideration, particularly on long drives across the Nullarbor Plain.
