Border Village is a settlement located in South Australia within the locality of Nullarbor on the Eyre Highway at the border with Western Australia.[4][5]
The settlement was named in 1993 by the South Australian Geographical Names Advisory Committee following a suggestion provided by the Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia.[4] The settlement is located at the western end of the cliffs separating the Nullarbor Plain from the Great Australian Bight.[5]
As of 2004, the settlement offered services to travellers and visitors to Nullarbor including:[5]
Motel, cabin and caravan accommodation, a restaurant which opens from 6.00 a.m. - 10.00 p.m., a takeaway service which is open from 6.00 a.m. - 11.00 p.m., full garage service and a desalination plant which provides fresh water.
There is a Western Australian agricultural checkpoint at Border Village, and also "Hole 6: Border Kangaroo" of the Nullarbor Links golf course.[6]
The settlement is one of five that uses the Central Western Standard Time (UTC+08:45).[citation needed] It is also the only place in South Australia where Daylight Saving Time is not in use.[citation needed]
