We set off early from Mundrabilla - we had heard that there might be whales and calves at Head of Bight -which is 200 km along the road. After a quick brekky snack and coffee at Nullabor we turned off the Eyre and headed to the coast. WOW WOW WOW. There were about 35 mothers with their calves in the big bay. Some off in the distance spouting and rolling around and others right in front of our eyes - lolling in the big surf next to the cliffs, you could almost reach out to touch them and the sound of their talking to each other gave us goose bumps it was sooooo unreal.
Stayed there for ages just watching and listening then hit the road again - next stop Ceduna. On the way we decided that we would just spend some time on the phone to the hubbies while there (got phone signal back) and push on to Streaky Bay. Glad that we did it - first thing when we got there was straight to the fish shop and a piece of King George Whiting each to pig out on. Next stop the Pub and booked in for the night. Lovely old hotel built in 1866 we had a room upstairs overlooking the bay - nice verandah to watch the sunset whilst enjoying a glass or two of Fonty's Pool's finest.
