Day 98 The Nullarbor Cont.

Crossing the boarder into South Australia... now we are beginning to feel like we are getting somewhere!
A few of the pull in's to see the coast were closed but we still managed to blow our minds with these fantastic views... and to imagine that a lot of this coast is not accessible from the road.
We could not miss the Head of the Bight, one of the worlds premier whale watching spots. Although late in the season we were still lucky to see five Mum's and Babies. We also saw this near white calf. Apparently they get a couple of these each year and nearly always one in the beginning of the season and one at the end.
It was difficult to come away from these incredible creatures, and just made us so mad that countries are still hunting and killing these whales.
The look out area has been very well organised, we did feel it was a shame that you cannot camp around here so that you can spend more time watching.
