About Great Australian Bight

This group is for photos of this huge bay, and the adjacent hinterland, on the southern side of Australia.

Wikipedia gives the "generally accepted boundaries [as] from Cape Pasley, Western Australia, to Cape Carnot, South Australia - a distance of 1,160 km or 720 miles."

"The Great Australian Bight was first encountered by European explorers in 1627, when a Dutch navigator, Captain Thyssen, sailed along its western margins. The coast was later first accurately charted by the English explorer Captain Matthew Flinders in 1802, during his circumnavigation of the Australian continent. A later land-based survey was accomplished by Edward John Eyre."

"The coast line of the Great Australian Bight is characterised by stunning cliff faces (up to 60 m high), surfing beaches and rock platforms, ideal for whale-watching."

The Nullabor Plain lies north of the central part of the Bight.
