Carnarvon the bread basket of West Australia


          Not much happens in Carnavon
                               
  More great coast line   
The town of Carnarvon, the hub of the Gascoyne, is located 904 km north of Perth following the Brand and North West Coastal Highways. Carnarvon’s unique location, warm sunny winter and mild summer makes the town a wonderful place for a truly memorable holiday. Carnarvon is an ideal location for travellers to restock supplies, sample locally grown produce, fish and explore outlying areas which provide a diverse range of natural attractions. Dominating the Carnarvon skyline is a huge communication satellite dish, which was opened in 1966. Although no longer used the dish still stands as a reminder of days gone by when Carnarvon participated in the space race to put a man on the moon.
 But it does have an awesome blow hole 70 km north of the town                                                       
                                                         


But while you may see the crops being irrigated from the river, you may well not see any water in the Gascoyne River. The mighty Gascoyne River runs only for about 120 days a year and the rest of the time it runs underground.

                                                 A River that does not run
             Of course Mangoes
                                                  A sexy Husband to be
         An old light house
                                                                Great sun sets
                                                            

All in all it was a great little town, very friendly and a very nice camp ground 700 mts from the centre.
 We relaxed, held each other tight, had romantic dinners on the sea shore and our love for each other grows stronger each day.
