The Nullarbor Plain, a vast stretch of arid Australian landscape, is renowned for its flatness and emptiness. As you traverse this immense area, gaining an appreciation for Australia's size, make sure to stop and rest for safety. One of the best rest spots is the geological marvel, Bunda Cliffs.

Formed over 65 million years ago from an ancient limestone seabed, the Bunda Cliffs rise to a staggering height of 120 meters and stretch over 100 kilometres. Standing at the edge of a sheer cliff face with wind whipping through your hair, the sight will leave you speechless. The best way to experience the Bunda Cliffs is by hiking along one of the many trails leading to the cliff edge. Several lookouts and access points along the Nullarbor Road offer stunning panoramic views of the coastline. Between May and October, The Head of the Bight Marine Park is a noteworthy spot to see the annual migration of southern right whales.

If you're looking for a spot for the night, Bunda Cliffs Lookout No. 1 and No. 2 are free camps with great views. No toilets, showers, water, or rubbish bins are available, so choose your campsite carefully and maintain a safe distance from the cliff edge due to potential instability.

The Bunda Cliffs hold cultural significance for the Aboriginal people who have inhabited this land for millennia. Known as "Bunda" in their language, the cliffs provided spiritual connection and sustenance through the collection of shellfish and other marine life. This place is a testament to the ancient and enduring relationship between the land and its people.
