About CARNARVON

Carnarvon is located 904 km north of Perth at the mouth of the Gascoyne River, and is at the only point on the Australian coastline where the desert reaches out into the sea. The area around Carnarvon was known to Dutch sailors in the early seventeenth century. In 1616, the area became known as Eendrachsland after Dirk Hartog's boat ''Eendracht''. Harsh desert vegetation, unreliable rainfall, and the lack of permanent water supply meant that the area remained unsettled until the late 1870s. Carnarvon was gazetted in 1883 and named after Lord Carnarvon, who was the British Secretary of State. It became an important port and supply depot for the surrounding pastoral district.

By 1930, the first banana crop broadened the economic base of the town, which also became the centre of an area which grows a variety of vegetables, fruit, nuts and beans.

There is also a thriving prawning and scallop industry. The town is close to some of the most beautiful and unusual coastline in Western Australia.
