Eucla is one of my favourite places in the world. It's mentioned on a lot of huge-scale maps, purely because it's a 5-letter place name in the middle of a vast empty open space.

It's a tiny little place, like a motel, post office and petrol station and that's about it. I've stayed overnight there a couple of times, and the stars are incredible - no light pollution at all.
