Carnarvon Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We left Monkey Mia brain-drain resort early so that we could see a few more of Shark Bays 'attractions' on our way through and up to Carnarvon, our 3rd stop. I was actually pleasantly surprised with what we found:
First up was Shell Beach, which is a 60km long beach made entirely of tiny, white shells, called the Hamelin Cockle. This turns ...

We made it to Carnarvon we stayed at the Top Tourist Park for a night before we made the trip into Gnaraloo. It is a lot of organising as you need to take everything in with you, and we had booked for 2 weeks. I had a few things to get done for Qclick while I still had an internet connection so it all worked well.

Day 121-128 Carnarvon - Quobba Pt Tues March 31st-Tues 7th April 2009 We set off from Shark Bay, with a new van so to speak and a new appreciation for being in it. Perhaps similar to Stockholm syndrome where you begin a bond with your capture. I was missing the familiarity of living in the van and was extremely glad to be out of the cabin, we we...

We finally left Geraldton about 11am after catching up with Nathan (and Sanna) after he finished nightshift at 8am. It was a long but pretty uneventful journey (apart from the kids) from Geraldton to Carnarvon... a lot of it well known after numerous trips up and down this stretch of the highway in the past. We spotted some emus and goats along ...

Non poteva esserci capodanno piu' degno per gli zingari italo-maltesi. Proprio no. Cinque giorni da zingari nel vero senso della parola, mare, tranquillita', ostriche, barracuda, soldi spesi zero (zero), e talmente tante risate da pianti e mal di pancia. Paradiso. Almeno per chi, come noi, non bada tanto al fatto di non avere doccia, acqua corre...

We enjoyed our 2 night stop-over at Carnarvon. It is yet another place with some great history. It was first settled as a port for shipping wool out of the region. Camel trains brought the wool from surrounding sheep stations into town, where it would be loaded onto steamers from a jetty. The main street is 40m wide to allow for the long camel t...

Arrived in Carnarvon after 5 hrs, Tired. BUT.....The weather is magnificent. Not much in Carnarvon except fruit orchards, fruit orchards and fruit orchards. The Gascoyne River supplies most of the water for the town so is therefore a vital lifeline for the growers along the banks, we went for a drive too see this massive river and it is bone dry...

Saturday, 1st September, 2007 (written by Stephen) Cania to Carnarvon Not much to report today other than we were all loaded up and on the road by 8.30am (pretty good going for us). It was a long day as we really started to head into the bush. Long straight roads as far as the eye could see and vast areas of wilderness only broken up by the coal...

The mornings delay and a long day of riding saw us approaching Carnarvon in the dark (again) and to be on the safe side I tucked in behind a road train for the last 70kms and used it as an offensive blocker against any stray animals that would do considerably damage to us were we to have an encounter on our own. The bike was once again back to h...

Pulled into the Norwesta Caravan Park about 9.30 am a basic park which is in the CMCA network. According to the tourist brochures there is a bit to do and see here, but our experience with tourist brochures means that it is normally the opposite so we will see. The last 3 days we have been driving through barren desert country, and about 30k sou...
