(Pic: by Nachoman-au
The Great Australian Bight is a large open bay resembling a very large ‘bite’ out of the coastline! Generally considered to be located between Cape Pasley (WA) and Cape Carnot (SA), it covers a distance of almost 1 200 km adjoining the Southern (Indian) Ocean and south of the vast Nullabor Plain. Characterised by the world’s longest line of seacliffs, rock platforms and surfing beaches, the waters are rich in Southern Right Whales, Australian Sea Lions, Great White Sharks, Southern Bluefin Tuna. The small settlements of Eucla and Ceduna allow access to the Bite which is protected by the Great Australian Bight Marine Park (GABMP).
