Bunda Cliffs — Attraction in Nullarbor

The Bunda cliffs are part of a larger scarp of the Eucla Basin that spreads from the western part of South Australia across to the south eastern corner of Western Australia. As a geographical feature, they form part of the longest uninterrupted line of sea cliffs in the world. No other continent or country can match the cliffs for length of coastline.

The Bunda cliffs is an aboriginal name which has been used in South Australia for the name of the Nullarbor coastal cliffs. The name was gazetted by the Government of South Australia on 2 October 2014 in response to a submission from the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources for approval to use the name for a sanctuary zone in the Far West Coast Marine Park and refers to the extent of cliff line extending from the Western Australian border to the Head of the Bight.

The Bunda cliffs extend for around 100 kilometres (62 mi) along the Great Australian Bight near its northern extremity and are close to the Nullarbor Plain in a very sparsely settled area of Australia.

The cliffs, which are some 60–120 metres (200–390 ft) in height, can be viewed from several viewing points along the Eyre Highway east of Eucla and west of Nullarbor roadhouse, although could be better appreciated from the air. A view of the cliffs can be had at 31°34′40″S 130°08′45″E.

Geologically the cliffs are of Tertiary age and are composed of fossiliferous limestone. The same formation can be seen from Eucla to Madura, where it forms a scarp separating the Roe Plain from the Hampton Tableland, but in this section the coastline has moved away from the cliffs. The scarp in this area runs parallel to, and within sight of, the...

I pulled our 22 foot van into here without engaging four wheel drive and had plenty of space to turn around. Ground surface is nice and hard with lots of pebbles and there are lots of little dunes to park near if it's a bit windy.

Now, the important bit; the view over the edge is stunning. Even knowing what to expect didn't prepare me for just how beautiful the view here is. If you didn't know better, you could be convinced that this is the edge of the world. Sunset was absolutely stunning, but a few brews at sunset prevented me from seeing the sunrise. I'm assured it was...

Wow! Just wow! The drive in is sand but it’s all compact and it’s full of small rocks. We parked near the cliff but not too close as it looks like some parts are giving way! It was windy here but honestly, the views were just stunning, no reception just a beautiful view and good times! We were the only ones here camping also which was lovely! No toilets so it’s best if self contained!
