Journey to Australia's premier
Southern Right Whale breeding ground at the Head of the Great Australian Bight.
This informative, personalised tour will create the experience of a lifetime.
Perhaps the best whale-watching anywhere in the world, the sheer cliffs
at the Head of the Bight put you in the box seat to witness this amazing event.
Every winter (June to September) Southern Right Whales migrate northwards from
their sub-Antarctic feeding grounds to the warm waters below the towering Nullarbor
cliffs. From your vantage point over the calving and nursery area, you can observe
new-born calves sheltering with their mothers. Watch as the males (bulls) breach
spectacularly out of the water and jostle one another in courtship displays.
More than fifty whales congregate in this area each winter - a guarantee of
good viewing. Learn about whale behaviour, and recognise individual whales by
their markings and callosities (distinctive white growths) on their heads.
This tour is designed to take in the best South Australia’s West Coast has to offer. View the Sea Lions at Point Labatt or swim with them at Bairds Bay. ( Swimming with Sealions Cost Not Included). See nesting Ospreys and a chance of whales cruising the coast on their way to the Head of Bight where you will see them with their calves.
Not to mention visiting caves and the taking in the interesting history the region has to offer.

Returns: Ceduna
Not Included: Airfares, Breakfast day 1, Dinner day 3. Swimming with Sea Lions at Bairds Bay.

Tours done by Arrangement for Groups
'Tag A Long' Tours 
Special Requirements - Your high-clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle should carry a
normal set of 4WD spares, such as radiator hoses and fan belts. Our vehicle
will carry recovery equipment and tools. These tours are self-catered,
so bring along your own meals and beverages, and adequate water. Note
that our guides are very experienced off-road drivers and will be giving you
instructions on how to handle a vehicle in these conditions. We must ask that
your 4WD vehicle be in good repair, as recovery of a broken-down vehicle may
have to be at your own cost. Much of the country to be travelled is still relatively unknown to the
general public and if one takes the accounts of the first European Explorers
through the area, it is not hard to understand, why this country is dismissed by
many, even today.
On
11th August 1858 John McDouall Stuart wrote
“To-day’s
few miles have been through the same dreary, dreadful dismal desert of
heavy sand hills and spinifex with mallee very dense, scarcely a mouthful for the
horses to eat.” He was travelling from Mount Finke to near Fowlers Bay.
On
the 2nd of April 1875 while near Mount Finke, Ernest Giles said
“It
was impossible to travel through this region at night, even by moonlight; we
should have lost our eyes upon sticks and branches of the direful scrubs if we
had attempted it, besides tearing our skin and clothes to pieces also.”
What
can one say about the description given to the Nullarbor by R.T. Maurice in
the 1890’s? “Any man who would travel this country for pleasure would go
to hell for a pastime.”
4WD 'Tag a long' Coffin
Bay Peninsula ($180.00, minimum of 2 vehicles, self-catered, depart Pt Lincoln
8am, return ~6.30pm.)
If you want to visit this beautiful
wild area, why not do it with the assistance of an experienced guide. The Yangie
trail is a track which is beyond most of today's drivers skills, and it is no
fun having to be rescued, so why not have an experienced person accompany you.
Drive along remote beaches and see kangaroos, emus and wild horses. Learn
about the history and try some of the 'bush tucker' (if in season). Teach the
children a little more about the bush and discover what makes the Coffin Bay
National Park special. Available by arrangement.

4WD 'Tag a long' Sleaford Dunes ($100.00, minimum 2 vehicles,
~3hrs, self-catered, depart by arrangement)
Travel through the vast dunes
around Sleaford Bay, named by Matthew Flinders in 1802. Visit the Stramatolites
of Sleaford Bay, a living fossil and take in the magnificent views along this
coast. There is sand driving that will start you on the road to other adventures,
so take advantage of having an experienced guide assist you. See the osprey's
nest, plus kangaroos and emus in the bush land around Wanna.

4WD 'Tag a long' Gawler
Ranges, Yellabinna & Nullarbor ($POA per vehicle. Minimum 4, maximum 12
vehicles, 8 days)
For More
information email us
This Tag Along is for the four
wheel drive enthusiast who wants to take in the country they are travelling
through without the hassle of having to guess where they are and what they are
looking at.
The modern traveller has the opportunity to take in the wonder
of a region that at first glance would appear to be an endless waste of mallee
scrub. But highlights include the extraordinary Jellabinna Rocks, a huge outcrop
of granite boulders in the middle of a vast expanse of flatland, Mount Finke
- a similarly 'out of place' large quartz mount. This great expanse has the
Gawler Craton beneath it, which is currently being extensively surveyed by mining
companies. Ooldea has for millennia been a major water source and meeting area
for Aboriginal people of the region.
In 1917 the East-West Railway was completed
near here. This was the home of the famous Australian author Daisy Bates, who
studied the culture of the aboriginal people between 1919 and 1934. The Nullarbor
is Australia's famous 'treeless plain' - there is no way to describe the feeling
of standing in an endless expanse of flat land extending from horizon to horizon,
in all directions. At night, the stars glisten in the incredibly clear outback
skies, with absolutely nothing to obscure your view - and the silence is breathtaking.
Underground this region is riddled with astonishing caverns and passages that
may open into football-field sized chasms, or end in small blow-holes gushing
air. And you can experience the 'end of the world' as the vast plain ends abruptly
at the Nullarbor cliffs, pounded by the wild Southern Ocean. At 'Head
of the Bight' the cliffs taper to a magnificent isolated and unspoilt beach,
and between June and September you can watch many Southern Right Whales frolicking
and giving birth in their breeding grounds.
From here you can continue into
Western Australia, or return home after a week you will remember for years to
come..
Special Notes for this tour - You will be required to cater for yourselves,
and all camp and entry fees will be at your expense. You will need to be self-sufficient
in water and fuel from Port Augusta to Ceduna, a distance of 500 kms, and then
from Ceduna to Nullarbor. On this section we travel approximately 900 kms over
5 days through vegetated dunes - fuel consumption will be heavy, particularly
for petrol engine vehicles. Tyres will need to be deflated for this part of
the trip, so an extra spare and repair kit are advised, preferably with another
spare casing and tube. Your vehicles must carry a set of spares, inc. radiator
hoses, fan belts, spark plugs, points, condensers, coil, plug leads and oil-,
fuel- and air-filters. A snatch strap and shackles along with a shovel and axe
are also required as minimum retrieval equipment. All vehicles must have be
fully serviced and have an RAA, NRMA, VAC or equivalent inspection certificate.
Travellers are responsible for all expenses incurred in repairing and/or retrieving
vehicles. We carry HF radios linked to the Royal Flying Doctor Service and to
normal telephone services. Backup and retrieval options are available if needed.
It is an advantage to have a UHF radio in your vehicle to take advantage of
the guide's information as we travel.
