Day 27 Carnarvon

This morning we left Denham to arrive at Carnarvon.
Along the way we stopped twice. The first stop was at Shell Beach. This beautiful snow-white beach is made up of millions of tiny shells up to 10 metres deep and stretching for over 70 kilometres. There is no sand, only shells! The water was twice as salty as normal seawater. If you swam out you would be more buoyant.
The second stop was Hamelin Pool where we saw stromatolites. The Hamelin Pool stromatolites are the oldest and largest living fossils on earth. Stromatolites are considered 'living fossils', part of the Earth's evolutionary history.
Once we arrived in Carnarvon we explored the area and got some supplies.
Before bed we played a card game called 'Cheat', where I learnt how to cheat.
Tomorrow we're still in Carnarvon and we will be checking out the Space and Technology Museum.Read more
