Carnarvon

Little town on the main highway, lots of farms for mangos, bananas etc and produce a lot of seafood, really good for a stopover to go to Woolies to stock up on food and other stuff as we will not see a big supermarket for a week or so now.

Highlights are the blowholes

Blowholes

The waves drive water into an underground cave system that funnels the water up and spurts out at the top.

And the Space Museum which celebrates the part the radio telescope tracking station played in the Apollo 11 moon landing, you can see relic equipment used to track Gemini and Apollo missions and get in a mock capsule with video screens and experience some of what the Astronauts saw during takeoff of the mission.

Old computer banks, 1 iPhone 6 could theoretically  guide 120 million Apollo rockets at the same time

It also has a range of short films about space and an interactive section with space invaders game amongst other things based around electro magnets etc. Great for kids of all ages.

Radio Telescope
Mock Apollo Capsule So small how did they stand it for all that time.

Other than that not a lot to do tried to get fish and chips but the only takeaway in town was closed due to lack of fish.
