Carnarvon and On

Down to the Foreshore in Town

Some People never grow up !

And long may it last !!!!

Giving her self a Thrill !

Yeee Haaa !

Ah the delights of "living by the sea!"

Another Sydney Memorial !

Debs and I went to the Jetty for a Sunset 

But NFG !

So here are a couple ....

The following Morning I'd been awake since 4 ....

So probably not my most intelligent venture !

Standing on the Gascoyne River Bridge 

in a Black Tracksuit ....

I'm sure a few people thought I was going to Jump !

But I reckon the Results were worth it !

Looking back to the Museum 

Then off we went.

This is the first time we've seen 

the Minilya River flowing !

One of the Spectacular River Gums

You have to wonder what caused this ?

Debs was fascinated too !

Then a turn Left to our Not Favourite Spot

Coral Bay .....

Did have a Great Pie for lunch though !

Onwards to Exmouth ....

Carnarvon

Off we went heading to Carnarvon

We stopped at Galena Bridge for Coffee

A drive over the Old Bridge followed ....

I saw the waters join over this in 1992 !

The following morning we visited 

The Carnarvon Space Museum 

Fabulous....

Buzz Aldrin was here for the Opening in 2012.

This interested me ....

Your Never too Old to learn !

D & A in a replica of Apollo Capsule ...

We too had a go !

A 7 minute presentation of the Launch ...

Some photos from a Video Presentation .

Alison about to Crash a Space Shuttle ....

So did I but I did it in the Dark !

Testing her skills.

Some of the Original Tracking Gear 

and a Replica Rocket that launched Mercury !

The Large Dish !

Then out to the Mile Jetty 

Second View

Out over the Mangroves

A Couple of Locals

"I Challenge You to a Duel"

The Old Lighthouse Keepers Cottage 

HMAS Sydney Memorial.

Back to our Favourite Memorial 

I've tried a couple of different ideas 

and perspectives .

Had to get one with Alison ,

she hates being photographed !!!!

It was a Fabulous Clear Morning !

And finally a bit of Sepia ....

For an Old Feel ....

What do you think ?

Tomorrow Carnarvon ....

Heading North at last!

Well at long last the Blog is alive !

I've missed the last 2 trips ...

Our first night was again in Moora ,

the trip up was in the rain .

The following morning the Sun was Shinning ,

so off for a walk I went !

I walked across the Railway Line 

as you can see !

No trains today ..... 

At the end of the main street is a lovely 

4 Sided Sculpture depicting the History of the area .

A walk through the back streets revealed these 2 

neglected Kit Cars ....

On the Left a Clubman of sorts ,

The other a Perentti, a Corvette looking thing 

from memory on a Toyota Crown Chassis ?!

We thought we'd be able to get Coffee on the way ....

but No ....

So a stop on the Road out of Coorow , had us firing up the Inverter

and the Coffee Machine !!!

Into Geraldton for 3 nights.

The rain had stopped for a while, so out to 

what was once the Foreshore.

Now as you can see the Foreshores Gone !!!

Deborah standing in the roots ....

We walked Up & Down 

The Photographers Buddy.

I kinda like this shot !

Looks like flying on the Clouds ....

From the Mouth of the Chapman River 

looking back at the Port .

Next day into town for a 

Coffee & a walk to the Museum .

On the way some

 Rubik's Cube Dunnies, Great !

And this in Selective Colour .

A quick stop in the Museum ....

Double click & read this !

Beggars Belief ....

Now that's a Serious Replica Plane !

This is worth a read !
