Carnarvon

We did another relatively short hop down the coast to the seaside town of Carnarvon, which lies on the Estuary of the Gasgoyne River. Carnarvon is the centre of a major fruit growing area in Western Australia, and there is a Fruit Loop drive in the season when fruit is available at the various farm gates. Not much to be seen at this early period in the fruiting season, but an interesting drive all the same.
We arrived in Carnarvon in early afternoon and drove into the town for a look-see. It is a town with a dubious reputation, allegedly due to the aboriginal problems with alcohol.
It was a bright, sunny and very warm day. The air conditioning in the Woolworths' Mall, and their reasonable pricing levels after the expensive groceries further north were very welcome.
The town itself is a bit of a mish mash of low developments but with some nice housing around the river.
Karen found a reference to a craft shop selling fabric that she just couldn't resist.
We visited the craft shop on our way out of town the following day. There are some very talented people working within the group collective. Some more fabric was purchased to fill our cases on the way home.Meer informatie
