Outback Experience with Whales Tour	SP7332A-25
2 days/1 night - Adelaide, Coober Pedy, Head of Bight & Ceduna

During the Australian winter months, up to 100 Southern Right Whales gather at the Head of Bight to calve and to breed. Travelers can watch from platforms built along the cliffs at Head of Bight as the whales slap tails or leap out of the water.

Day 1: Depart Adelaide for Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is a town of 4000 people world famous for its opal mining. Summer heat means that most of the residents live underground. Spend the afternoon on a tour of the town, which will include a visit down an opal mine, to an underground church and an underground home, looking for gems, shopping for opals. All set against the backdrop of some of the harshest environments in Australia.

Day 2: Depart Coober Pedy by light aircraft to enjoy scenic views of the rugged Outback landscape on the way to the Nullarbor Hotel/Motel.
Fly over the whales before landing to join a private 4WD tour down to the whale-watching platforms to get a closer look at the whales and the unforgettable Nullarbor Cliffs.

Depart from Nullarbor to fly along the Far West Coast of South Australia on the way back to Adelaide.

Scenery will include farming properties, coastal scenery including Fowlers Bay and the Illcumba Dunes. (B,L)
