Day One

Perth to Carnarvon

Take an early flight to Carnarvon from Perth with Regional Express Airlines, who depart Perth for Carnarvon twice a day from Terminal 2 at Perth Airport. Flight time is approximately 2 hours. Pick up your hire car to get the most out of your time in Carnarvon and to fully explore the surrounding areas.  Budget and Avis have offices at the Carnarvon Airport.

Upon arrival in the lovely sub-tropical seaside town of Carnarvon, ease into the relaxed pace of life by taking a walk along The Fascine – a palm-tree fringed walkway along the waterfront and enjoy a drink and bite to eat at one of the bakeries or water-front hotels along the way.

Check out the weekend markets, on every Saturday morning from late May to early October, in front of the Visitor Centre.

The Gascoyne region is rich in Aboriginal culture. Visit Gwoonwardu Mia Cultural Centre and learn all about the early history of Carnarvon and have a bite to eat at the Sunset’s café.

Head back to Carnarvon Airport to take your scenic helicopter flight with Coral Coast Helicopter Services  on a half day Heli-Blowholes Scenic Tour and see by air, the awe-inspiring Blowholes and the rugged Quobba coastline. 

South of the Blowholes is Point Quobba where you will find 'the Aquarium’, a popular swimming and snorkelling lagoon. Enjoy your very own rock pool, choose to take a dip, explore the surrounding area on foot or sit back and relax on the beach.  

The drive to Quobba Point and the famous Blowholes is around 75kms north of Carnarvon. Quobba Station has its own shell beach which is great for beachcombing and finding mostly Cowry shells.
