I was going
to give Carnarvon a miss as I was looking for some free campsites to stay at
and discovered that Carnarvon strictly forbid free camping. Hubby didn’t want to miss seeing it so we
were lucky enough to bag a site for a few nights at the Outback Oasis Caravan
Park. We learnt that most of the caravan
parks were full. No doubt due to
Carnarvon protecting the caravan parks by not allowing free camping in and
around the area. There were quite a
number of caravan parks there so no wonder they had the say.
Anyway, we
got a good spot on a corner lot up the back and opposite the little pool which
was cold! 😉
Our neighbours were super friendly too which made for a nice stay. Usually everyone keeps to themselves in
Caravan Parks.

The town
itself is small but quaint and is right beside the river which feeds in from
the coast.

Just out of
town and towards the seafood co-op was The Crab Shack. We bought fresh prawns and oysters and I made
oyster Kilpatrick. Yuuum.

The ladies
in the Information Centre were very helpful and directed us to the Quobba blow
holes and a nearby beach. On the way
back we dropped into a little ice-creamery called Bumback’s and spent a fortune
on jams and pickles (which were terrible).
Hubby bought a very small tub of mango and passionfruit ice-cream. When I looked at the priced I nearly
died! $10! Floggin’ day light robbery!

Just out of
Carnarvon there was a salt mine. We
passed lots of salt lakes and there is a huge one called Lake Macleod. There are also quite a few market gardeners
here selling fruit and veg. We bought
some nice little bananas which are not quite as good as my favourite Queensland
baby fingers but they were more palatable than the big ones they sell in
Perth. Tasteless crap. I won’t eat those ones.

Overall, we
enjoyed our stay at Carnarvon, but only enough to do for just a few days we
reckon.
