A popular town to experience the beauty of the Great Australian Bight is between the roadhouse/motel at Nullarbor and the tiny settlement of Border Village on the South Australia / Western Australia border. The Old Eyre Highway previously passed between the two places with some six roads leading to the cliffs. The Eyre Highway is now located much closer with 4 main lookouts where it is possible to pull off the road and gaze out at the Great Southern Ocean and at the right time of the year look to spot Whales. A word of warning. Beware the cliffs are high and can be dangerous so please take care. The Bunda Cliffs rise for about 100 metres from the sea which pounds on the rocks below. There are safe viewing platforms.
