With an RL of only 54 metres, this is perched just back from the cliff tops at Cape Nelson.
Blue Whales visit off-shore from here each summer to feed on krill pushed up by the "Bonney Up-welling', and blows can be seen by the patient and the lucky.
Recently a record-breaking group of 21 Blue Whales and single Humpback were observed feeding on krill about 16km off shore.
