22nd-23rd Carnarvon trains and boats ...

Carnarvon was different to the other places we had stayed recently, although its still a seaside town its got lots of rebuilding going on and quite a lot of history to look at and into...we stayed on a site right on the edge of the town, but very nicely laid out and well looked after.

Heres the piccies anyway

We stop for fuel on the way to Carnarvon..could we get anymore on that poor bike ???

Another roadhouse...

Some local art...this is painted on a wall outside a school just as you enter Carnarvon.

Our home at Carnarvon, this was quite a nice site actually and very well cared for...shame there was a builder yard the other side of the fence, but it made no difference as camp life starts at about 7.30am anyway..

Views across the town...we walked all round this.

Silly boy...

more views, we walked over this and on for a further 3km to reach the railway museum and it was well worth it...

John finds a new mode of transport.... dont think so John !

This is at the local railway museum...

The one mile Pier at Carnarvon, the train is driven backwards for the return journey, there is only fencing on one side of the track , the other side is just ....the sea, yes the sea. The train is driven by to by a lady called Sas, who was proberly about 85 years old, and very very funny....

A view from the train.

This is the end of the one mile pier and the point at which the train starts going backwards.

 John chats to Sas...
