Carnarvon & The Blowholes - WA

Sam & Lee at the Quobba lighthouse. Warning any stray ship of the dangerous coastline being approached...










A typical example of the 'blowholes'....







Tom & the boys at the foreshore of the 'Blowholes'. An area just north of Carnarvon which has some strange rock formations that allow the incoming tides to push upwards through holes in the rock up to 20 meters high!!




The jetty history...







At the other end of the jetty looking back towards the mainland you get a better idea of its length. Apparently the longest jetty in WA's northwest area.





We left Tom Price and headed back to the coast toward Carnarvon. Previously a busy area exporting sheep. This jetty is one mile long and in a state of disrepair. Fro the price of $2000 one can replace a pylon and be remembered for this gesture with a wee plaque. There are about 640 pylons in total!! The weather here was a bit cooler than the hot northwest region...only about 30 degrees...
