Raining in Carnarvon

Tilly was busy during the night, checking all windows for invaders. She was still sleeping this morning cuddling one of my socks.

The wind eased but there was light rain on and off all day. We had breakfast out but both the food and coffees were pretty ordinary. While Anita was in the shops I wandered around town taking photos. Some historic buildings have been retained in the town centre. The 1935 Church of St Mary Star of the Sea is an unusual sandstone structure.

The long timeline mural depicts major Carnarvon events. The spacecraft tracking station operated here from 1963 to 1975.

Three of us drove around as Toyota tourists, only getting out of the car when the rain eased. The heritage area museums on Babbage Island were closed today, but we could look around the outside. The One Mile Jetty is closed because it is unsafe. It once carried animals and wool to ships.

One section of road on the island can be covered by drifting sand. The rough seas were eroding the beach on the other side of the dunes leaving a cliff about 3m high.

We enjoyed pizzas in the motorhome. Blue and Leo are very cute together.
