One of the highlights of the Carnarvon area is the blowholes at Quobba which
is about one hour's drive north and is coastal. The seventy kilometre drive
is on bitumen highway and the turn off the main highway is about twenty
kilometres north of Carnarvon.
As we were approaching the coast we saw the lighthouse and it looked quite
impressive high on the hill overlooking the bay. The lighthouse is still
operational.
There is a long strip of cheap camping at Quobba overseen by a caretaker.
We did not intend to stay overnight as we have the caravan in Carnarvon but
it was interesting to look. There were many campers, encouraged by the
price of $5.50 per camp site, and the excellent fishing. There are no
facilities and all water must be taken in. This didn't seem to deter all
the camping groups.
Gill and Peter like to travel. In 2011/12 they completed a trip around Australia. One of the things that they are aware of is the fact that to live your dream then you actually have to do something and that's what they did. In 2013 they decided to further explore outback Australia and crossed the Simpson Desert. Going forward they will continue to travel as they plan for the next few years. To see some of their other trips follow the links.
