This small ecological resort lies 100 m off
the ocean on the Eyre Peninsula, 1000 km
west of Adelaide in a desert climate. It
provides seven bedrooms, a store and an
entertainment area for tourists, who may
go for swim with sea lions and dolphins.
The walls of this resort, as well as the
columns, retaining walls and signs, were
built of rammed earth from local soil sta-
bilised by 6 % of cement.
