Ceduna

Spread along the shores of beautiful Murat Bay, Ceduna is the eastern gateway to the Nullarbor Plain. Established in 1896, it is a fishing and oyster farming town, as well as the commercial centre for the pastoral and cereal-growing area of the Far West. The town is a popular stopover prior to, or after crossing the vast Nullarbor Plain.
