Shortly after Nundroo you come to the Head of the Bight and this is where they have a marine sanctuary and between June and November you can see whales. The park has a series of boardwalks that take you down over the sand dunes and right to the cliff edge and there just below you are about 70 whales, mothers and their babies frolicking in the ocean. What an absolutely awesome sight. You hear them bellow and blow a spout of water. Watch the protective mothers circle their babies if the stray too far and the young calves slap their tails in the water, breach and roll in the water. Some of the whales were just floating in the water upside down.
It was so difficult to leave and press on but we had to get back on the road.
We are now in Streaky Bay in SA on Eyre Peninsula. It is a very pretty little spot.
