    Carnarvon

    October 26, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 24 °C

    Carnarvon is a costal town in the subtropical area of WA at the southern end of Ningaloo reef. Known as the “fruit bowl” of WA. Also known for its deep space tracking station used in the moon landing

    Unfortunately the Covid pandemic hit the town hard. Many shops and business for sale including many fruit and veg plantations. Several abandoned tourism projects but still some good ones too but desolately needing investment from government and support from tourists.
