Carnarvon - 16th April

We spent today around this town ( very small by UK standards at about 2500 people, but it has everything). It is most famous for having a satellite receiving station that transmitted the first live broadcast from London and assisted in the Apollo moon landings. The dish, although no longer used, is still lit up at night. There is also a mile long jetty out into the Indian Ocean that used to be used to load boats exporting fruit and which has now been restored by a group of volunteers. After all this I had a quick swim in a slightly warmer sea and then we sat and watched a magnificent sunset.
