Coober Pedy with whales - Adelaide, Coober Pedy, Nullarbor, Head of Bight, Nullarbor, Ceduna, Adelaide
2 days/1 night. Tour code: CTOHOB
Includes one nights accommodation, meals as noted.

Day 1:
Depart Adelaide for Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is a town of 4000 people known for its opal mining, and the fact that most of its residents live underground. There is plenty to keep a visitor engrossed for at least a day, viewing the grassless golf course, the underground church and houses, looking for gems, shopping for opals. And all this is set against a backdrop of one of the harshest environments in Australia.

Day 2 (B, L):
Each year, from June until September, up to 100 Southern Right Whales gather at the Head of Bight to calve and to breed. Travellers can watch from platforms built along the cliffs at Head of Bight as the whales slap tails or leap out of the water.

After breakfast, depart Coober Pedy and enjoy scenic views of the rugged Outback landscape on the way to Nullarbor, on the edge of the vast expanse of the Nullarbor Plain. Land at the Nullarbor Hotel/Motel. Travel by vehicle down to whale-watching platforms to get a closer look at the Whales and the Bunda Cliffs, which drop 340 feet straight down to the Southern Ocean. Return to the Nullarbor Hotel/Motel, and fly along the coast to
Ceduna.

Scenery will include:
• Wheat and sheep farms
• Salt ponds and a gypsum mine at Kevin
• The Far West Coast community of Penong
• Coastal scenery, including Fowlers Bay.
• The Illcumba sand dunes.
• From Ceduna, fly direct with Regional Express to Adelaide in the late evening.
