Hi M .........................


we drove that same road back in 1975, when it was still all gravel ..........


I'd forgotten about that Eucla time until you mentioned it :-)



We rode the trains from Perth to Adelaide in 2006 and from Adelaide to Darwin ..................... just stayed on "train time" on each one



that made it interesting :-)






Hope your daughter enjoyed the uni here ..................... and Perth

Hi, Sylvia - my daur got a degree from a local uni you're familiar with, then went to uni in Oz. Whilst she was out there, I went to Oz visiting her and driving round the country. I drove across the Nullarbor Plain - it's 1200m from Norseman WA to Ceduna SA, with nothing much in between, just a few gas stations (or roadhouses to the locals). SA is an hour & a half ahead of WA (2.5 hrs in their summer as WA doesn't do daylight saving). Now the central 200m of this 1200m stretch of the Eyre Hwy have their own unofficial time zone (Eucla time) - it's 45 min ahead of WA year round (it's mostly in WA) - it affects maybe 300 residents at the most (plus travellers)

Please be advised that we are aware of an issue with our clock that appears to be running in a timezone all of its' own at the moment !

We are looking into this and hope to have it fixed as soon as possible.
