Family run roadhouse with lots to see and do.
Cocklebiddy Roadhouse is home to all sorts of feathered friends, including 2 Wedgetail Eagles that were rescued by roadhouse staff after being hit by roadtrains. Their injuries prevented them from being returned into the wild, so they now live in a huge enclosure at the roadhouse.
Travelling East across the Nullarbor, this was the first roadhouse we came to that was family run, rather than being staffed by an army of backpackers - not that backpacker staff are inherently bad, it was just nice to sit down somewhere and have a hearty, home-cooked meal and a more personal atmosphere. The staff were wonderful and our evening meal was fantastic.
If you have time you can go explore the nearby Cocklebiddy Caves or if you're taking part in the Nullarbor Links, there is a hole here.
About 15km East is the turn for the Eyre Bird Observatory, one of our personal Nullarbor Highlights.
