Bunda Cliffs, formed from fossiliferous limestone, are part of the Great Australian Bight coastline that borders the Southern Ocean and stretches from western South Australia across to the south eastern part of Western Australia.
Views like this can be seen on the Nullarbor Plain section of the Eyre Highway by taking several very short side trips. These cliffs are part of the 'longest uninterrupted line of sea cliffs in the world' (info sourced from Wikipedia). The name Bunda is a local Aboriginal name for these cliffs.
Seen during 2015 travels.
I really appreciate all who visit to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia. Thank you!

Espero por todos lá ((( :
A série Estio (Verão) são as fotos mais vistas aqui no meu espaço – a foto da leitura, até agora, já foi visitada 956 vezes, desde quando publiquei.
Em homenagem à série vou publicar a realidade da maioria das praias que visitei este ano, tanto o assunto principal – bunda – tanto o assunto de fundo, os dois jogando frescoball.
Head of the Bight
South Australia
The Bunda Cliffs are composed of limestone, which extends far inland. The cliff face ranges in height from 40-80 metres, and stretches west for 800 Km.
There are three distinct units of limestone. The light coloured base, Wilson Bluff Limestone, formed when sea levels were higher and the Southern Ocean inundated southern Australia. Skeletons of billions of marine organisms were eventually deposited on the submerged plain to form the limestone.
The next cliff layer is the Nullarbor Limestone. This began forming 25 million years ago, again due to inundation and sedimentation.
The cliffs are capped by the Bridgewater formation, formed between 1.6 million and 100, 000 years ago. It consists of a hardened layer of windblown calcareous sand.

Bunda Cliffs are located just off the Eyre Highway in South Australia.
