Day 4 - Nullarbor Plain

Left Ceduna early for Nullarbor into gale force headwinds. Guzzling fuel at 28L/100km! After setting up camp at Nullarbor roadhouse, went to Head of Bight to see some whales. Southern Right Whales come here in winter to breed and tend to their calves. Kids were excited to see the whales breaching off shore and we even saw a mother and calf no more than 50 metres away. Weather was pretty inhospitable and we all got thoroughly drenched.

On return to the van, Henry and Dad set off into the distance to play Dingo's Den, a tough par 5 into the breeze and part of the Nullarbor Links golf course which stretches from Ceduna to Kalgoorlie. Fairways not quite up to Dad's exacting standards!
