Star Date: 14/04/26.
Head of the Bight is a great place to see Southern Right Whales in the winter months from May to October. Outside that time the entry price is half price and is still a great place to visit.
Free camp area at the entry gate to the visitor centre.
A easy boardwalk leads you to the cliff edge with amazing views of the ocean and Bunda Cliffs.
Amazing views of the Bunda cliffs, our first glimpse.
A couple of small lizards heaving a fight.
The coloured one seemed to be loosing the battle.
Next was the sign for the Eastern End of the Treeless Plain. Nullarbor” is derived from the Latin words nullus (“nothing” or “no”) and arbor(“tree”), directly translating to “no trees” There was indeed no trees but small bushes. It is a really good road.
I was a little emotional at the sign, thinking of Chris and how much we both wanted to do this trip together.
The famous Nullarbor Roadhouse. We had lunch here and I bought a cute Emu with big eyes that will sit on my shelf at home reminding me of this trip. I’ve called in Nelly from the Nullarbor Roadhouse.
Photo of the original roadhouse.
Camels, Wombats, Kangaroos and dogs 😂 We have not actually seen any animals on the Nullarbor so far.
A few other signs at the Nullarbor Roadhouse.
Inside the roadhouse an amazing mural.
A sense of humour, love it.
Royal Flying Doctor Service R.F.D.S landing strip on the Eyre Highway.
The first scenic lookout of the Great Australian Bight showing the Bunda cliffs. Amazing, can see how the cliffs edges are falling away. A lot of the previous entry points to view the cliffs have been closed off deemed too dangerous.
We found a spot to camp for the night just off the road well hidden from sight.
Live Long and Prosper. 🖖🏿
