Carnarvon, Western Australia

Carnarvon lies at the confluence of the Gascoyne River and the Indian Ocean, 900 km north of Perth. The coastal town had a population of about 5,300 people at the 2006 census. The administrative centre for Shire of Carnarvon, the town was established in 1883 and gazetted in 1891. It was named for the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, Henry Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon. In its early history, the town was a supply centre and port for the surrounding areas and communities.

Tourism is a major economic activity; however, mining, agriculture, and fishing make their contributions, as well. The salt mines on Lake MacLeod and inland mines export to all parts of the world. Bananas, especially Cavendish, wool, goats, sheep, cattle, and tomatoes are the main agricultural products. Prawn fishing in the town provides for export and for local consumption, as well.

Shark Bay is a popular tourist destination in the town, as are the Blow Holes. The powerful jets of water are forced through holes in the rocks, creating natural geysers of incredible strength. It is an amazing site to behold; however, caution should be exercised at all times, as the area can be dangerous.

Carnarvon Tramway

It’s easy to reach your destination on the port if you’re in the town centre. Just take the tram. An audio commentary will tell you everything you need to know as you tour the Carnarvon Heritage Precinct. The town has a fascinating transportation history, with three trams running through the town beginning in 1884. The first was hand-powered, the second was a horse-drawn tram, and the third, from 1900, was powered by steam locomotive.

Lighthouse Museum

The lighthouse keepers’ cottage museum perfectly portrays pioneer life at the lighthouse. The cottage has been restored from its original 1900s construction, and houses a delightful collection of early 20th century memorabilia from the keepers’ homes on the coast. It is located within the Carnarvon Heritage Precinct. While you’re there, take a ride on the Kimberley Steam Locomotive and see the Railway Museum. Don’t forget the longest jetty in the state, One Mile Jetty.
