STILL crossing the Nullabor...

Heading on, we make it by late arvo to the Nullabor Roadhouse and set up camp. Planned to drive to the Head of the Bight from there. That is where the Southern Right Whales come in calving season and stay until the calves are old enough to head back out to sea. In keeping with the pace of this trip we find out we have just under an hour to drive there and check out the whales before the gates shut! (who knew there'd be gates!)

We are literally running down the path to the viewing platform and are stopped in our tracks by the amazing sight of 6 whales and their calves (50m or so offshore). Not really a sight you can rush, just awesome.
