The Great Australian Bight

The Great Australian Bight is a natural embayment or oceanic bight stretching across Australia’s southern coast. This Australian coastal area is part of the Indian Ocean and is an unique environment containing diverse marine species, including threatened and endangered mammals. It formed over 50 million years ago when the Gondwana supercontinent broke apart. However, the European explorers first came across the Bight in 1627 and chartered it in 1802. The Great Australian Bight plays a key role in Australia’s commercial fishing industry. – Courtesy World Atlas

On sea days, ocean liners will often have a formal dress night for dinner. Last night we put on our Sunday best, saw a show and cut up the rug after dinner.
