Australia - Carnarvon
This is a top pick! ... in the 80's. The dish was lit up at night and this gave it a rather spooky, sci-fi appearance (PIC). Day 2 Carnarvon doesn't actually have many attractions to boast, in our opinion at least. So after a spot of grocery shopping we drove out to the ...
Carnarvon
This is a top pick! Carnarvon = another massive town on our map - the second town to get the lofty status of capitalised print. There was absolutely nothing to see or do here particularly as it was Sunday. The supermarket was our only source of entertainment. Even the ...
Whale Sharks, Ningaloo Reef
This is a top pick! We arrive at Coral Bay on the 19th May and are very impressed with how beautiful it is. We get the togs on and head straight to the beach for a snorkel. Great fun until both of us cut our feet on the coral. Thomas is ok but I keep bleeding, youch. ...
Day 163
This is a top pick! 25th September. Today I did some laundry - the boat had washing machines and dryers! We got level with Australia today and at about noon we were three quarters up the coast. From my chat with the Chief Officer on the Bridge I'd learned that we ...
Road Trip the Third: A Parting of Ways
This is a top pick! ... that. But I'm pretty sure that the "everyone says it's a shithole, but it turns out to be spectacular" reversal never happens. Carnarvon is no exception to this rule. The landscape on the way to Carnarvon seemed to have been born out of fire, black, ...
Six Months To Go
This is a top pick! ... ) If!!!!! I come back early, I'll spend the remainder of the year in my favourite city... Melbourne. I plan to depart Australia on 26th December, 2005 and return on or around 14th December. Most of the trip will be done independently, staying in ...
Only 2 months till departure.
This is a top pick! Como esta? It is hard to believe that 4 months have gone since I last wrote. And to think that I only have 2 months to go is getting me mega excited. During the last 4 months, I have changed my itinerary slightly, got some needles, and continued ...
Update in February
This is a top pick! ... people and the friendships I made... but I know I will cherish in the ones I've made especially with people here in Australia (especially Melbourne!). And I miss the dramatically different cultures to our own. It's good to be back in a house I ...
Booked the Airfare
This is a top pick! I've booked and paid for my airfare to Central America and pretty happy with the deal I got. In the end, I found that it will be cheaper to travel to Los Angeles from Perth via Singapore (instead of Sydney/Melbourne). To get from Perth to ...
Carnarvon - Blow Holes.
This is a top pick! From Monkey Mia it was quite a drive up to Carnarvon where we camped at a caravan park so we could catch up on showers and clothes washing, before heading off the next day to see the blow holes and magnificent scenery on the 4 wheel drive tracks, that ...
Quobba - A Whale of a Time
This is a top pick! ... and catch up with new friends Bob and Anne for a chat prior to heading further north on Sunday. Highlights of Quobba/Carnarvon: - Two adult whales breaching in sync within metres of us ...
Turquoise Sea's and White Sandy Beaches
... , but it’s no longer in operation. It was time for lunch so we drove to the OTC communication dish which dominates the Carnarvon skyline. It is now out of commission but was active during the space race and the moon landing in 1969. It ...
When Road Trains Crash, Australia Stops!
... , we slowed down as we could see something in the road, which is a rarity when you are driving along the highway in Western Australia as you don't general see anything for miles apart from the odd road kill etc. Luke stopped and jumped out to take a ...
One Mile Jetty
During the afternoon today we went to the One Mile Jetty... Stu walked to the end and back, while I took the train to the end and walked back with Stuart... I hated every minute of it (no, not because I was with Stuart) but because I could see the waves ...
Carnarvon
... sites available; take your time; not a problem. Now that IS how to greet prospective guests! So Woolworths in Carnarvon got a workout – and the fridge, van and cupboards got a good feed. Chris needed to get an independent ...
RAC save the day
... not convinced. Dayne starts explaining that it is such a hard decision because he really loves me and yet he really really loves Carnarvon!! Alright mate!!ha ha!! He heads to the Homeswest office to find out who the local chippie in town is and I smile ...
Welcome to life on the banana plantation...
We are up at 6am and head for showers at the servo, before heading to see Wayne. He has found us some accommodation. It is the 'cheapest in town' and one of his employees is going to take us out there. Suddenly the police arrive and we see the gates. ...
Rocky Poo...l
... working for the government. He isnt deterred for long though as he soon begins on how he can get me a skimpying job here in Carnarvon. Give me a break eh?! After half an hours persistant hassling to get me to come outside for a beer, I finally get to eat ...
Back to Meeka??
We arise early, check out the pool we came here for and head back to town. As it is early we head home for showers and then back on the road again. Unsure what to do, we head to the One Mile Jetty and sit in the sunshine. Boring. Dayne's impression of ...
This place is a JOKE!!
... about the large satellite dish which dominates the sky line. Turns out it was used in the race to put a man on the moon!! Wow Carnarvon used to be forward thinking...what the hell happened?! Back to the shed and we squeeze onto our tiny bottom bunk. Bed. ...
Carnarvon
... Carnarvon in search of food, Christmas supplies and presents, mail and many errands. The warm winters and hot summers that Carnarvon enjoys allow for immense tropical fruit growing, primarily bananas, and mangos on the flats of the Gascoyne River. ...
From Carnarvon to Tom Price
... this time. At what temperature plastic is melting? The coolest cafe – an aboriginal art-culture-cafè-is situated in carnarvon and an example of modern and comfortable architecture in combination. The iron walls on 2 sides let air sweeping through, ...
Time to head south
... a milkshake tohave a chat. Enough is enough, I just want to head south. I feel close enough to Perth to do so from Carnarvon as it's only 900kms. The further north we go the harder it becomes to get back to civilisation and with things so volatile I feel ...
campervan hell! but no blogging yet!
... mechanics to get our beloved, bloody campervan poked and prodded, in order that we're able to go see the north of western australia, without fear of getting stranded on the side of the road, and in easy reach of possible wolf creek killer copycat! ...
Where the Outback meets the Ocean.....
... called Carnevan. Here we visited the Gasgoine River which only flows 120 days out of the year and is one of the wonders of Western Australia. We pulled up in old Rosey knocked up a couple of boiled eggs and ham sandwichs and had a little picnic out in the ...
Cut off from the world
... if 'way back when' the aboriginlas were directly involved in the mining of their land constructively or told to return to the bush. Australia is huge, the people per sq kilometre is on of the lowest in the world. The country could easily have been halved ...
Carnarvon
A stopover site on our way up to Ningaloo Reef. Nothing much to report other than our when driving inland yesterday the thermometer was displaying 50 degrees and that was outside. Give or take a few degrees for it being a cheap inaccurate thermometer it ...
The Blowholes, Quobba Rocks
Our first night in Carnarvon was spent on a salt pan just out of town. All class. But the next day we drove the 70 kms out to the blowholes and settled in straight away and got to know the neighbours. On one side we had Rick and Carol, on ...
