Sights in Carnarvon

  1. A

    Lighthouse Keepers Cottage Museum

    The Heritage Precinct is an intriguing place to learn about Carnarvon’s history. The area, once the city’s port, houses the Lighthouse Keepers Cottage Museum, Railway Station Museum and the One Mile Jetty, where locals fish for mulloway; you can either walk or take a vintage tram to the end of the jetty. Although the train from the footbridge to the Heritage Precinct is no longer running, a walking trail runs the 2.5km length of the old tracks.

  2. OTC Dish

    On the outskirts of town the OTC Dish was established by NASA in 1966 as a tracking station for the Gemini and Apollo space missions, and tracked Halley’s Comet in 1986. It was closed in 1987 although you can still wander around the site.

    Carnarvon Pioneer Cemetery

    The multicultural Carnarvon Pioneer Cemetery is worth a wander; it’s the final resting place of pioneers from as far away as Afghanistan and China.
