Carnarvon

"Hi Scotty",
"Who's this?"
"Bryan and Rose"
"Oh, Aunty Rose and Uncle Bryan?"
"Yep, how are you".
"Fine, I heard you were off traveling"
"Yep, around Australia. We're on the WA coast".
"Great, you've gotta drop by when you're in the neighbourhood. I'm in Carnarvon. You can park up at my place, OK? Where are you now?
"About 5 minutes north of Carnarvon.....!"

We caught up with Scott, had a great pub lunch, a couple of beers, washed the van, the car, and anything else that was standing still. Thanks heaps for the hospitality Scott catch you in Melbourne in December no doubt.

Carnarvon impressed us. We didn't realise it was such a food bowl. The city centre is modern and open. Scott suggested we head out to the Quabba Blow Holes about 70km north. We spent the afternoon there.

The blowholes were working well, and the noise when they went off was awesome.
Just around the corner was a little bay next to a free camp. It was rustic, and had we some more time, we would have spent a couple of days there.
The campground was right behind the sand hills, 20m from the beach and the water was clear and the reefs were still full of fish.
