Carnarvon - Blowholes

We stayed in a free camp at Quobba point which proved to be another great spot away from the grey nomads at the established van parks and their rules and regulations!

There is a shanty town of fisherman's shacks similar to the shacks in the Royal National Park south of Sydney although here there is even a "tavern".

The camp is great although the since there is little maintenance done the "long drop toilets" no longer have much of a drop at all.

We visit the memorial for the HMAS Sydney, lost some distance offshore in a battle with the German raider Kormoran in 1941 during WW2. All 645 crew were lost.

The coastline is ruggedly spectacular and the blowholes themselves are awesome.

Quite a few people have lost their lives fishing the rugged coastline near the blowholes so we decide  to fish the beach, the fishing is great and as the magnificent sun sets again the lines are going off!
