Carnarvon

Left Coral Bay about 8am on Tuesday 22nd and drove into a headwind all the way to Carnarvon - would have been the worst fuel consumption for the whole trip if I had been game to measure it.

Because we've done about 11,000 km so far I had booked the Prado in for a service at the local Toyota dealaer - 80,000k service and got it there at 11am.

We went for a quick bike ride around town, had lunch and soaked up some sun until the Toyota dealer rang saying the car was ready. Needed that to go and get some more beer, wine, cider and food.

Next day rode out to the mile long jetty

It hard to believe that a train could run on those tracks - but here it is

Then had a look at the small boat harbour (small boats not a small harbour, although the harbour is pretty small too)

and the "Fascine" - which is the bay formed by the Gascoyne River and sea.

We drove out to Quobba Point where there is a blowhole (waves forced up through holds in the cliffs)

There is a sign there saying "Killer waves Kill", a plaque with names of people who drowned while fishing and a couple of life buoys. Fishing from these ledges would be ok don't you think?

Anyway I chickened out and went fishing a bit further south down on a safe beach. Got a couple of small salmon (both marginally bigger than a large goldfish).
