Pilgramunna

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia

The gorge is not sign posted on the main road so it is easy to miss. The unsealed access road is more or less opposite the turn off for Pilgramunna Beach. The track is sandy and quite high in places, so we didn't risk it in our 2WD and parked it at the start of the road and walked in. A short walk up the road and you will see signs for the gorge. The walk through the gorge itself is short and you can only go as far as the signs allow. It does however, have lots of quiet shady spots to escape the heat and enjoy the sounds of the birds. Look carefully up along the ledges and you will spot little rock wallabies. Sometimes they are down in the gorge and as long as you are quiet they will sit quite happily only a short distance from you.

Carnarvon Blowholes

Reviewed By weetbex - Perth, Australia

Also known as the Quobba Blowholes, this attraction is well worth the detour from the main road if you are travelling between Carnarvon and Shark Bay. We went a few hours before high tide and found the blowholes to be very active with the big waves crashing into the coves fascinating to watch. Make sure you wear shoes with good grip and if taking photos, have someone watch the waves and let you know when a big one is coming - so you can get ready to shoot or get out of the way quick smart. Tip: If you are patient, you can get some great photos of the "King Waves Kill" sign with a blowhole in action in the background (to the right of the sign). There are toilets further down the road from the blowholes if you need them - and a basic campground for those who wish to stay the night.

Reviewed By Lorraine554 - Perth, Australia

Worth a trip just for a visit to the museum. it is such a shame that a heritage treasure like this jetty is not receiving government funding for restoration. that said, it is still worth a visit as there are 3 musuems there, a train museum, a lighthouse museum, and the actual jetty museum dealing with the story of HMS Sydney. It was worth a visit just to chat to John who was entirely lovely, knowledgeable, and a real asset to both Carnarvon and the museum.
