Bunda Cliffs SA

#livingthedream. Happy hour on the edge of the continent 🥰

We gambled on the weather and it paid off. Free camping on the edge of Australia (Bunda Cliffs Campsite 2 according to WikkiCamps). Bucket list big ✅

What an amazing experience. We could literally see the curvature of the earth from our ‘living room’ overlooking the Great Southern Ocean.

Beautiful blue sky, a gentle breeze, sitting back watching the rolling waves wash onto the coast below. A sea eagle soaring overhead, glass in hand as we sipped our last Margret River Rose. All we needed were a few seasonally misguided whales to top it off.

As the sun set the boys scrambled together a hasty campfire as best they could from a ‘treeless plain’. Needless to say it didn’t last long. Regardless, we sat outside to take in the expansive night sky. Whilst the near full moon illuminated the cliffs brilliantly it wasn’t so conducive to star gazing so we quietly retreated to the warmth of the van.

Having read so many reviews about how windy it can be overnight and people being rocked and shaken inside their vans, we experienced none of that. It was absolutely calm and still all night long and we awoke to another stunning morning with a gentle sea mist rolling onto the cliffs. Truly magical.

This stop has definitely been one of our trip highlights, proving sometimes the best things in life really are free xxRead more
