Carnarvin and races


Carnarvon is a lovely little coastal town in North Western Australia. The further north we go the warmer
and more tropical it is becoming. We spent one warm sunny day at the race track. Although we placed a few
bets we didn't pick any winners. Just outside town is a "huge" telecommunications dish that was once used
by NASA as a tracking station. The area us also a flourishing fruit and vegetable growing district and supplies around 70 percent of Western Australia and beyond with produce especially bananas.
Bob found out that it's hard to find a good car wash in town as they seem to have a dislike for "mud".
I don't understand this at all because the area is full of these gigantic termite mounds that are made out
of, guess what? Mud!
Anyway, we are now heading for Exmouth and following the sunshine. Yesterday was June 1st and the beginning of winter here although the temperature is around 28 Celsius. We are looking forward to
hitting the beaches again when we get to Broome. Cheers for now....Bushy & Mary-anne
