Gascoyne River
|
| The Gascoyne River is often referred to as the life blood of Carnarvon, considering that the town and surrounding plantations get their water supplies through bores below the dry river bed this is not surprising to hear. |

The river is unusual in that the water sits unseen below the riverbed in underground reserves protected from evaporating by the sand. Periodically the river flows visibly after heavy rains providing an impressive display of nature at its best. The water filters through the river sand to underground aquifers, and from here water is drawn for the town supply and the plantations.
