Day 129
im Kaktusgarten
February 24 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
Der Zyklon hat eine bessere Route gefunden und uns verschont. Es dürfte am Abend nur noch etwas Sturm und Regen geben. Nach dieser Etwarnung konnten wir wieder ins WoMi umziehen und einen Ausflug machen.
Links und rechts des Gascoyne Rivers befinden sich die Plantagen für Avocados, Papajas, Mangos, Trauben, Melonen etc, aber vor allem für Bananen. Der Fluss führt meistens kein Wasser, aber drei Meter tiefer liegt ein riesiger Grundwassersee.
Etwas versteckt fanden wir, hinter einem Walskelett, einen grossen, alten Kaktusgarten.
Der angedagte Sturm und der Regen hielt sich in Grenzen, dennoch musszen wir drinnen unser leckeres Abendessen einnehmen.Read more

Day 65
Cactus Garden Canarvon
November 27 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 36 °C
Carnarvon Cactus Garden started as a hobby for Rob Westcott. Rob’s passion for cacti came from his father.

"Dad had a couple of little cactus plants at home when I was a youngster, and when I left and bought my own place, I took a couple with me."

The first cacti at the garden were planted over 15 years ago. The ‘hobby’ quickly became a place of interest to many who passed by on the Fruit Loop Trail.

Today, we have over 350 cactus plants in 30 different varieties, some of which tower over 5m tall!

The day we popped in was watering day, Rob had decided to pull his own tooth out this morning and was in a lot of pain , Rob was from Portugal 40 years ago , a small , thin man with dark black hair and a rather swollen face!

it’s an incredible site when you see a garden full of cactus’s ranging from different sizes and heights, the variety and colours are stunning against the blue sky!
Rob also collected old bottles,cans and rustic metal machinery parts, some placed around the garden setting off the cactus colours.Read more

Fruit Loop Drive & Cactus Farm
November 11, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C
Arrived in Carnarvon out of season and it's a bit of a ghost town, but we decided to hit Fruit Loop Drive and pick up some fresh produce on the way round....

The kids loved the frozen fruit ice lollies covered in chocolate!

Then we did a visit to the cactus farm on the way home! Incredible garden of specimens including a whale skeleton! 🐋 🌵Read more

Day 131
Carnarvon
May 26, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Took the Fruit Loop trail and picked up some fresh fruit and veggies from local farms at Carnarvon, yum yum.

We were on the hunt for mangoes, we could see mango trees everywhere. We finally found a place with a sign, walked up the massive driveway in the stinking hot heat to find out they were frozen mangoes 😩. For some reason all the farmers in Carnarvon sell their mangoes in frozen packs? Oh well, frozen mango for us it was. The kids were excited as apparently Kat makes a mean smoothly that includes mango.

Along the trail is a cactus garden that has become Insta famous, so we stopped there for a look and a photo of course. The kids loved it they kept talking about the time Lachlan touched the ‘mother in laws cushion’ at Aunty Karen’s house and then started to cry because it was spiky 😂. Lachlan didn’t touch it this time!Read more

NWC highway/Carnarvon
April 1, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
Interesting but nerve wracking trip up the north west coastal highway...
Lots of water rain and water crossings. Later in the day they closed the road so grateful to have made it to Carnarvon. We loaded up on fuel and supplies washed my hair 🤪 and stayed at a beautiful caravan park which later flooded but we were safe and well looked after 🙂Read more

First half of the day was a lap around the Carnarvon fruit loop, first stopping at Bumbak’s for a real fruit mango ice cream 🥭 😋 then various other farms for some fresh produce.

Along the way was a cactus farm which had an abundance of varieties and some amazing specimens.Read more

We saw so many beautiful wildflowers today we thought they deserved their own footprint, we wanted to do them justice.

A picture is worth a thousand words!
