    Great little coffee shop in the heritage precinct, with the museum next door and very informative about the history of the area.
    Carnarvon became the fruit bowl of middle Western Australia due to the great growing conditions and the water aquifers.
    It was also a whaling station in the early years.

    The HMAS Sydney was sunk off this coastal area with all crew (645) lost.

    The lighthouse keepers cottage was a great look back at how they lived and the volunteer who was there today was the daughter of one of the lighthouse keepers and spent her first 9 years being brought up her before her father died of a heart attack at 45 years old, her mother and her moved out not long after.
    We found the little bee nesting area and they are do buddy but mod not bite or sting, picture explains about them.
    Visited the aboriginal culture Centre and it was an amazing experience, the local guide, Renee explained all about her mob/tribe and we ate some bush food she found on the premises.
    The story’s were enlightening, a CB must if in town.
