It is time to leave the magnificent town of Port Lincoln and we continue our journey north along the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula. We stop at Elliston on the shores of Waterloo Bay, where there are frequent sightings of dolphins and sea lions. Walk along the heritage listed jetty before we make our way to the stunning Talia Caves and the well-known Murphy’s Haystacks. After lunch in Streaky Bay we continue our journey and arrive in Ceduna mid-afternoon. Located on the panoramic shores of Murat Bay and rich in indigenous culture, Ceduna’s meaning is “Resting Place”. Stroll along the waterfront and take in a beautiful sunset before a delicious buffet dinner. The top-quality Foreshore Hotel will be our accommodation for tonight. (Day 4 Overnight Ceduna Foreshore Ocean Front Executive Rooms, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Today we travel to Fowlers Bay a hidden paradise with kilometres of white sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue water. The bay offers great protection for the Southern Right Whales and their calves. We get up close and personal on a two-hour whale watching cruise. Enjoy a homemade lunch from the owners of Fowlers Bay Eco Cruise before travelling to Penong. Penong is a small wheatbelt town on the Nullarbor Plain and is now known for its array of windmills. We return to Ceduna and there is time to unwind and relax before a group dinner. (Day 5 Overnight Ceduna Foreshore Ocean Front Executive Rooms, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

The beginning of the famed Nullarbor Plains, Nullarbor meaning “no trees”, is where we are headed today. But it is not trees we seek, we are looking out for the Southern Right Whales frolicking below the Bunda Cliffs. Each year the whales call this part of the Eyre Peninsula coast their home and you can watch them nursing their calves, leaping out of  the ocean or waving to us. Check out the Head of Bight Interpretive Centre and this day is sure to be one of your lifetime memories. (Day 6 Overnight Ceduna Foreshore Ocean Front Executive Rooms, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

This morning we farewell the coast and travel inland, the Central Eyre Peninsula characterised by open farmland, untouched wilderness and unique landscapes. Edward John Eyre first discovered Minnipa in 1839, mapped and recorded the native names of unique granite rocks in the area. Walk to the top or along the base of Pildappa Rock, an inselberg with the highest and longest wave formations on the Eyre Peninsula. We continue our journey to the largest exposed granite monolith in South Australia, Mount Wudinna. Surrounded by mallee bushland the area is a great scenic spot for lunch. Back on the road our next stop takes us to the Whites Knob Lookout in Kimba. Great for excellent views and some photos of the Edward John Eyre Sculptures, an artistic tribute to the early explorers. Kimba is also home to a stunning and very colourful silo art, which can not be missed on our journey. We arrive in Port Augusta late afternoon and finish the day with a delicious restaurant meal. (Day 7 Overnight The Standpipe Port Augusta, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

For our journey home today, we drive to Kadina, a township on the Yorke Peninsula. Visit the Farmshed Museum and you will be amazed by a magnificent collection of vintage tractors, machinery, farming memorabilias and uncountable displays. After lunch we take on the last stretch to Adelaide and it is time to say our goodbyes. Arrive in Adelaide by 4pm. (Day 8 Breakfast, Lunch)
