Day 73 - Carnarvon

Kate: We woke up to rain.  First time in two months.  I have to say it was a bit of a shock to the system.  Packing up the van when everything is wet is not much fun.  How lucky have we been up until now.  A short trip of only 3 hours today to Carnarvon.  This town has nothing much to offer but is reknowned for its fruit and veg plantations.  Apparently this little section of WA supplies 70% of WA's winter veges. It's also home to the One Mile Jetty - one of the longst in the southern hemisphere.  I don't know if it was the rain or a reflection of the town, but on a saturday arvo, everything was closed, even the touristy cafes on the "waterfront".  So an indulgent arvo of movies all squished in our pop out bed!!!

Jasper: When we got to Carnarvon we went to a book sale to get me a new book because I finished all five Skulddugery Pleasent books, Matt. I found a few books then we went to the video shop and later that night we watched Gullivers Travels all squished into the pop out bed.

It's so windy in Carnarvon, the trees grow sideways
