Day 7

Carnarvon Western Australia

Is a coastal town situated about nine hundred kilometres (560 mi) north of Perth, Western Australia. Situated on the Gascoyne River which in turn enters the Indian Ocean. Tourist brochures advertise the town as experiencing the never-ending summer. The town is warm to hot year round. A town of spaceman, aliens in the museum and bananas.

During the 1960s, NASA set up a tracking station just out of Carnarvon to support the Gemini and Apollo space programs. The tracking station was closed in the mid-1970s, and tours are now available at the space museum.

Carnarvon Tracking Station & Museum

The tracking station was built to support NASA’s Gemini, Apollo and Skylab programs. Commissioned in 1964. Operated for 11 years. OTC Satellite Earth Station, now the museum site, is six km from Carnarvon and four km north of the Tracking Station. Allow an hour or two to look through the space museum. Carnarvon has over 180 banana plantations. I think every household owns a dog in a backyard. I walked a few street blocks with constant barking dogs. I decided to bypass the Exmouth turnoff. From the turnoff it is a minimum distance of eighty km to reach Exmouth. On this road trip I continued on to Dampier instead. A further four hundred km away. Or about a five hour drive.
