It has been mentioned on a previous thread that one can travel along the
Bunda Cliffs from about 5 km west of Nullarbor Road House to about 40 km west of the Roadhouse.
Can it be done whilst towing a Caravan or is the road too rough.

HI Nugget
It is a interesting little drive and to be honest, if it was not wet, you could drive a standard vehicle along the track.
The only thing I would not advise is to drive in off into the many side tracks that go right to the cliffs edges. In
places there would not be enough room to turn around, and in all cases it is only a few hundred metres from the track to the
cliff edge. Just park your vehicle and walk in.
Cheers
Stephen.

This is what the track is like

The track along the coast

There are many places where you can go right the cliffs

This old stone cairn sees very few visitors

We only went as far as Wigunda Cave, and then headed north to the Eyre Highway

Hi Stephen, I do need to apologise to you. I read back through Judy's nav notes and the piece of track that I referred to was the Aboriginal land side of the fence on our way to the
Head of the Bight whale
lookout. There is a little rocky section near the WA border that we came across but not too serious. Sorry for my miss statement

The
cook and I drove along the
Bunda cliffs track last September in the hilux. I would be hesitant to tow a van along the track from the WA border to the Aboriganal land fence line just east of the Nullabour Roadhouse. The track was narrow, rocky and the tree roots were like iron bars. There are many tracks from the main highway down to the
cliff edges for good viewing, as the one's that Stephen has submitted. There is limited room to turn a van around at the end of some tracks. As Stephen stated, don't get too close to the edge.

Hi Garry
The Track that I have pictures of in my reply is of the track that runs parallel to the coast. There was no
limestone on the section that we travelled, except when we did the small detours into the many good viewing locations on top of the cliffs.I have travelled both ways south of the Roadhouse, and yes the section when you head east is a slow drive.
Overall, we found this great easy drive and would do it again.
Cheers
Stephen
