“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever..”
Jacques Yves Cousteau
The Great Australian Bight is a large oceanic bight off the central and western portions of the southern coastline of mainland Australia. Depending on whether you believe the International Hydrographic Organisation or the Australian Hydrographic Service, it is either part of the Indian or Southern Ocean. Its coastline is characterized by cliff faces and rocky capes, making it an ideal location for whale-watching. Traditionally, explorers defined a bight as a bay that could be sailed out of on a single tack in square-rigged sailing vessel, regardless of the direction of the wind (typically meaning the apex of the bight is less than 25 degrees from the edges). According to the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea, an indentation with an area as large as (or larger than) that of the semi-circle whose diameter is a line drawn across the mouth of that indentation, can be regarded as a bay not merely a bight. #spectular #letsmakelemonade
