Day 3

It’s totally up to you how you would like to spend the morning enjoying this beautiful area. You may like to do one of the magnificent coastal walks or go for a swim, boogie board, snorkel, fish or just relax and read a good book while lying on a pure white beach, you might have to share with a couple of locals, kangaroo’s that is. After lunch,  we head back through Esperance and then north to the Eyre highway to start our journey east bound to a bush camping site. (BLD)

Day 4

Today will certainly give you a sense of the size of this vast and ancient land. The Nullarbor Plain is the largest  piece of limestone in the world and is internationally recognised for its hidden treasures beneath the ground. It has an internationally recognised cave and lake system. Today we travel through some diverse Australian country and visit old Eucla, a telegraph town buried by sand dunes and stop for the night at Eucla, the biggest town on the Nullarbor. (BLD)

Day 5

The majestic Nullarbor cliffs, the famous wombat/camel/kangaroo road sign are some of the sights today. In season [June – October] the Southern Right Whales migrate to the Head of the Bight. Up to 100 of these amazing mammals can be seen from the scenic lookouts. Outside of the whale season you will not be disappointed with the spectacular coastline and viewing platforms that showcase the majestic Nullarbor Cliffs. We drive onto the Nullarbor Plain and across the dingo fence while travelling through Yalata Aboriginal lands.

Later in the afternoon we head for the tiny historical settlement of FowlersBay, adjacent to massive sand dunes, where we finish the day with some extreme fun sand boarding. (BLD)

Day 6

We leave FowlersBay behind and head further east into South Australia. Along the way we visit the communities of Ceduna and StreakyBay then on to BairdBay to board the MV Investigator for a 4-5 hr cruise (own cost $120 inc GST). It’s a relaxing afternoon on the boat, viewing and swimming with dolphins and Australian sea lions. A short drive brings us to Murphy’s Haystacks, incredible granite rock formations sculptured into wondrous and weird shapes over millions of years.

Then we drive on to our over night’s spot – CoodliePark a unique farm retreat. Our hosts Hassie, Jo and family then conduct a nocturnal spotlighting tour looking for Australia’s National Emblems – Kangaroos, Wombats and Emus.  (BLD)

We travel to Locks Well and admire the view and the man made 291 steps down to the Locks Well beach. We then travel on to the city of Port Lincoln where after lunch we will swim and hand feed tuna - it is like swimming with lightening as these unique fish go into a frenzy while being fed as you snorkel your way around the ring.
