Carnarvon & Point Quobba

We left Coral Bay and drove down to Carnarvon, where we did a bit of shopping and went and checked out the 1 Mile Jetty, the Coffee Pot Train and learnt all about the HMAS Sydney II which was sunk by the German's off the coast of Carnarvon, killing all 642 Aussies.
We then drove back up the coast a bit to stay at Point Quobba for the night. There is meant to be some great snorkeling here, but it was very windy and overcast with some light rain so we didn't get in the water. It was strange to get rain again as we haven't had rain since we were in Cairns at Easter! Unfortunately we now are out of the dry season and back into normal weather patterns. It was still windy and overcast in the morning so after checking out the blow hole, we decided to move on. We are making our way today down towards Denham.
