We arrived in Carnarvon and checked into the Wintersun
Caravan Park, we were planning to stay just two nights but they had an offer of
pay two nights get the third night free so we decided to stay for three nights. That afternoon we headed into town and bought
some food for dinner and then headed back to swim in the pool.
The next morning we got stuck into getting school finished
for the term, all we had left to do was
an Art Unit. The kids had to make a hat
and they decided to make an Easter Hat,
so just using bits we could find around the caravan (eg. cereal
boxes) we made three Easter hats and
took photos of them to send to the teacher.

Once we had finished making hats, we headed into town to do a big food shop
as Carnarvon has a Woolworths and we haven’t seen one since Geraldton and there
is not another until Karratha, So it was time to stock up. We then headed back to the van to have a
swim.
The next day we set off into town to have a look
around. We found one mile jetty which
has a train that runs along it, but of course the train doesn’t start running
until Easter so we walked the one mile jetty.
The jetty was not in as good a state as we thought it might be since a
train runs along it, but it was a nice walk out and back and the kids did
really well to walk the 3km return trip.

When we had finished our walk we had a look through the railway museum and climbed the water tower lookout

From here we drove out to Pelican point for a
look and then made our way back into town.
We then made our way to the Aboriginal Cultural centre for a look, and
we admired the OTC Dish from a distance (as
it is currently closed) and from here we headed out to “Bumbacks” Plantation to
sample some real fruit ice creams. That
afternoon we played in the playground at the caravan park.

Hi Masons, continuing to be massively jealous of all your adventures. Love reading your blog and especially the photos. Loved the shell photo. Sorry I haven't commented for a while just been busy. Caroline grew up in Karratha so I'll have to remind her to follow your progress. One of the streets in Karratha is named after her family, as they were amongst the original families there. It's called Birch Pl/St/Rd whichever. Lots of love to you all. Tom
