Woke to a windy morning with the tent flapping about but the sky was clear which was good news because this morning we had planned to fang up to the Nullarbor road house go for a 30 minute joy flight along the cliffs to look at the whales.
We ate breakfast while enjoying more of the cliff side views, packed up camp quickly and made a new cairn over the top of the camp fire before hitting the road.
The joy flight was fantastic, and the views so spectacular that I quickly forgot to take photos. But we saw lots of whales with baby whales and even saw a shark swimming along in the shallows. The water was so blue and the sand dunes so white and the plain and cliffs seemed to extend on forever.
Feeling pretty uplifted after the flight we jumped on our bike and had a long stints on the road through to Ceduna where we went on the hunt for somewhere where we could get a replacement rear tyre for Amelia's bike. We were eventually referred through to Port Augusta and was also given the advice that the steaks at Wudina were worth the drive. So. back on the bikes for another long stint this time drawing on to well after dusk. We eventually got to have some pretty monsterous steaks for dinner but unfortunately there was no room at the inn. The barman at Wudina was kind enough to ring around to find somewhere for us and ended up having to back track another 40kms in the dark to Minniup, where we were pretty happy to get to bed.
