Bunda Cliffs. Huge.

This morning’s highlight was the incredible Bunda Cliffs that tower over the Great Australian Bight. I’ve been here before, and I’m sure you might have too, but it’s a gob smacker of a view. No question.

Putting things in perspective

The size of the car and the boys in the photo above gives these massive cliffs their dues. We spend most of our lives right on the edge of the Australia, but this particular edge makes you feel quite insignificant.

The boys took some very close peaks over the edge. To be sure, it’s a long way down.

A long way down

And of course they just had to look right over.

Up close.

Here’s the video Fergus took while peering over the edge.

There are five official spots to stop and look at the Bunda Cliffs. We did one of the official ones, where you get lots of fences and signs and warnings, and the other few times we found a track and drove along the cliff edge. Well, near the cliff edge, hence our excellent photos and video!

And now for family photo time. Apologies for the pink and red combo. What was I thinking?

Aside from stopping to see the cliffs today, we were joined on the road by the optimistic Fremantle supporters who are making the trans-continental dash for the big game on Saturday. We read that even the budget airlines were charging up to $800 one way for Perth-Melbourne, and that was before Fremantle made it into the grand final, so no wonder you’d round up your mates and drive a car over. You can spot them. They’re the ones without a caravan, camper trailer, motor home, fifth wheeler, B double or road train. Actually, not many of us have a road train, but you sure could take a few extra toys with you if you did. They travel light, and fast. Whereas we just cruise along and find things to do on the way.

Like playing golf. There’s the Nullabor Links here – the World’s Longest Golf Course. It’s 18 holes across 1365km from Kalgoorlie to Ceduna. Each town or road house hosts a hole, and you get a certificate if you do them all. It’s a great tourism initiative and a good way to enjoy the trip across the Nullabor.
