Day 139 – Carnarvon to Wooramel

We decided to make the most of Carnarvon since we ended up here unexpectedly and headed to the Space museum in the morning. I must say that everyone enjoyed it a lot! It’s amazing that Carnarvon played such a big part in the NASA space race and just how many interesting artifacts, articles and learning experiences there were in the museum. The girls loved the interactive experiences the most, especially being in the launch simulator and of course wearing astronaut suits on the moon!

After participating in all the science experiments and checking out the moon capsule, the outside spaceship was also a hit. A busy morning indeed!

From there we headed to the cactus garden, an incredible place with every variety of cactus imaginable. The girls weren’t too keen on photos there, Izzy was convinced she would impale herself on a cactus spike….

There were also lots of farming blocks around with many selling to the public. We stopped at one place and bought the freshest corn, broccoli, beans and bananas. $15 of absolutely delicious fruit & veg! If only we had more room to stock up on all the fresh food.

After running a few errands and stocking up supplies for the week ahead, it was back on the road to Wooramel River Retreat, our stop for the night.

It was a really cool place with artesian hot tubs, the perfect place to relax for the afternoon (probably even more relaxing without kids 😂).

The kids also loved the nature playground with its rope swings, the most perfect climbing gumtree. The little girls literally spent hours there!

Dinner was a delicious lamb souvlaki pita wrap, a new firm favourite as we listened to the tunes of the resident country singer busting out some “golden oldies” (as it said on his poster). He definitely threatened to finish singing a few too many times before he actually did, but Jazzy was super stoked that his final song was “Chicken Fried” and made us run over for a dance before bed. Why not? It was a great way to burn the last bit of energy for the day.
