Border Village sits on the state line on the Eyre Highway and is the first or last stop on the Nullarbor in each direction. The big kangaroo out front is the standard photo. Note the biosecurity checkpoint if you are heading west, because fruit and veg can't cross into WA.

Good to know

  • Eat or bin fruit, veg and honey before you cross into WA
  • Clocks change across the border, check your phone
