Today we went sight-seeing in Carnarvon. First we went to the Flea market - purchased some avocados, a kilo of bananas ($5 - eat your hearts out!), and some pickles. I also visited the local hardware store. I think I can confidently say that I have visited a hardware store in every town we have stayed in except Exmouth - I like browsing and there's always something small I'm after.......
We visited the small boat harbour, the OTC disk (see photo with notes about disk), the One Mile Jetty, the Esplanade (which they call the 'Facine') and then we had a nice lunch at the Gum Tree Cafe on a sugar cane/mango farm.
We have been impressed so far with carnarvon. It is a tidy little town and seems quite prosperous. It has definitely had bad press in the past regarding crime - alcohol and drugs but it seems OK to us so far.
Tomorrow we are planning on a day trip to the blow holes and Point Quobba, north of here.
