Well we got out of Ceduna bright and early and headed off towards the SA/WA border. There’s not a lot to see along the way, but there’s plenty of expectation.
We saw the famous signs warning of camels, wombats, kangaroos, etc for the next bajillion kms, but we saw nothing. Not even a dead roo. The only birds around seem to be crows and some parrots that won’t sit still long enough to be identified. A bit eerie really.
The clear highlight of the day was reaching Head of Bight which coincided nicely with lunch. Clear skies and little wind made for good whale watching weather. There’s boardwalks along the cliffs and down fairly close to the water too. We saw about 15 Southern Right whales all up. Mothers, calves and bulls all acting as whales do.
I took about 250 photos and some video and will need to pick some highlights for the gallery here.
