Prior to arriving in Carnarvon we had heard that it was a large
horticultural area and supplied approximately 80% of the vegetables sold in
Western Australia. We were surprised to find that leading up to Carnarvon
is all desert and it is only as you are within about five kilometres of the
town that you begin to see the ploughed paddocks and also the banana
plantations.
We are a bit early for the fruit and vegetables to be ready for sale at the
property stalls. However before too long there will be heaps of tomatoes as
that seems to be the most popular produce. The tomatoes are grown outside,
sometimes under netting, and with wooden or bamboo stakes. There are
paddocks of them so there will be a bumper crop before too long.
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.
