MONDAY 10.2.2014: Sightseeing on the Nullarbor - who would have thought it! The
Great Australian Bight Marine Park currently has an amalgamated native title
claim over the region that combines the Mirning, Wirangu and Yalata people’s
claim.

T-H-E NULLARBOR |
Nullarbor National Park earned its name from nullus arbor - Latin for 'no tree'. Nullarbor's dry plain is covered with small, hardy bluebush and saltbush shrubs. The shrubs thrive in arid conditions by drawing moisture from the atmosphere through their leaves and absorb the equivalent of their weight each day.

NULLARBOR BUNDA CLIFFS |
Nullarbor Bunda Cliffs - the plain drops 90 metres into the pounding Southern Ocean. The Bunda Cliffs stretch in an unbroken natural rampart for over 200km from Twin Rocks, Head of Bight to the Merdayerrah Sandpatch.
Stayed at Peg Rest Area 164km east of Border Village.
