1340 (18610 km) Town of Nullarbor. Only one short section of the Nullabor Plain was actually 'treeless'. Most had a fair bit of vegetation.



Southern Right whale with calf

 1410 (18636 km) Head of Bight. It was amazing. We were expecting to have to use binoculars to search for the odd whale or two. However, to our pleasant surprise, there were more than a dozen Southern Right Whales, many with a calf, just in the water. They would swim under at times, and because there were so many, we could never be sure if we had already counted them. There was also a seal that was swimming around. There were some small blowholes that blew water vertically into the air.

1815 (18933) Penong.

1830 (18934 km) Ceduna. Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park. Site P12. Had sang choy pau with rice. Went fishing and brought back two crabs and two herrings. Threw the rest back for another day.
