1. Pilgramunna

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia
The gorge is not sign posted on the main road so it is easy to miss. The unsealed access road is more or less opposite the turn off for Pilgramunna Beach. The track is sandy and quite high in places, so we didn't risk it in our 2WD and parked it at the start of the road and walked in. A short walk up the road and you will see signs for the gorge. The walk through the gorge itself is short and you can only go as far as the signs allow. It does however, have lots of quiet shady spots to escape the heat and enjoy the sounds of the birds. Look carefully up along the ledges and you will spot little rock wallabies. Sometimes they are down in the gorge and as long as you are quiet they will sit quite happily only a short distance from you.

The views from the elevated light house position presents awesome views up and down the coast and also inland, very informative signs there too explaining local history.
3. Thomas Carter Lookout Walk

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia
Great walk, not too challenging, but probably best not done if it's too hot as there is no shade and it takes a 2 - 3 hours to complete. The views of the canyons are incredible though and a great reward for your efforts. We walked the loop first finishing at Shothole Canyon view point - that way you feel rewarded - starting at the view is a bit like peaking too soon as there is not much to compare on the main part of the walk. We did not have a 4WD and tackled the long, rough road in a Suzuki Swift. It is not for the faint hearted, but if you take your time you can do it - we parked at the picnic area before Thomas Carter Lookout and walked the kilometre or so from there. Take plenty of water and make sure you have a hat.

Interesting spot to visit, came as part of our visit to the excellent Carnavon Space Museum. Great views over the city
5. Carnarvon Blowholes
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 324 reviews
Reviewed By weetbex - Perth, Australia
Also known as the Quobba Blowholes, this attraction is well worth the detour from the main road if you are travelling between Carnarvon and Shark Bay. We went a few hours before high tide and found the blowholes to be very active with the big waves crashing into the coves fascinating to watch. Make sure you wear shoes with good grip and if taking photos, have someone watch the waves and let you know when a big one is coming - so you can get ready to shoot or get out of the way quick smart. Tip: If you are patient, you can get some great photos of the "King Waves Kill" sign with a blowhole in action in the background (to the right of the sign). There are toilets further down the road from the blowholes if you need them - and a basic campground for those who wish to stay the night.

Worth visiting.It is a Beautiful Cliff with Boardwalk overlooking a crystal clear water lagoon with sharks,tortoise etc.Bring a binoculars to appreciate the marine life because it is quite a distance between the boardwalk and water.
7. The Fascine

What a pity we were there when it was an extremely windy day that we could not fully appreciate the beauty of The Fascine. We started at the Playground area and waited for the sun to set before walking further down to where the HMAS Sydney II Memorial is. The sunset was glorious throughout The Fascine. Just love the view of the coconut trees lining up The Fascine which reminded me of my childhood holidays to Penang where I was born (I was brought up in KL). Did not get a chance to walk on the 2.5km Old Tramway Walk Trail. Would have been nice to go for a run too from the end of The Fascine where the boat harbour is to the Heritage Precinct.

We drove out here from Exmouth twice. Its easy fishing of the end of the jetty and some people were fishing off the beach. There were a few squid caught when we were there and we caught a feed of fish both times we were there.

Worth a trip just for a visit to the museum. it is such a shame that a heritage treasure like this jetty is not receiving government funding for restoration. that said, it is still worth a visit as there are 3 musuems there, a train museum, a lighthouse museum, and the actual jetty museum dealing with the story of HMS Sydney. It was worth a visit just to chat to John who was entirely lovely, knowledgeable, and a real asset to both Carnarvon and the museum.
