Carnarvon 3 - Quobba Station.

The blow holes where fantastic, we have been to some other blow holes in WA, but these ones were the best so far!!!
We had a drive out to Quobba Station and all along this dramatic coastline, with massive cliffs, the scenery was stunning.
We saw a group of at least 40 fish, at first we thought they were sharks as they were so big, in the end we decided they were Spanish Mackerel- amazing, massive creatures. We also saw a large spotted Goanna. We headed back to Port Quobba and a snorkel in the calm coral bay with lots of reef fish.
Next we walked on the 1 mile jetty in gale force winds!! The jetty looked and felt very unsafe and we was grateful the little steam train was not running today. The jetty was built in 1897. Carnarvon was the first port in the world which loaded livestock on board ships for transport to markets.

This morning there was no wind, which made a change, however the sky has been over cast most of the day and rain is threatening!!! If it rains, I'm going out to dance in it!!! The wind picked up at lunch time and is blowing a gale again. So tomorrow we will head off to Monkey Mia and we are sure it will be even winder there.
