OTC Dish
The OTC Dish Base on Brown's Range, Carnarvon, was the site of Australia's first earth station for satellite tracking and communications, and one of just eight in the world.
Established in 1966 by OTC (Australia), the station was involved in the Gemini and Apollo space missions, and played a role intercepting Halley’s Comet.
It also was the station through which Australia saw their first satellite TV program - an exchange between Carnarvon and London - the show being "Down Under Comes Up Live."
Today it's closed but a drive around the base offers views of the town and plantations.

Blowholes
The Blowholes are located 75 kilometres north of Carnarvon. This natural wonder is a ‘must see’ for all those travelling Australia’s Coral Coast. Amongst the rugged coastline is an amalgamation of rocks with a series of narrow holes. The powerful ocean swells force the surf up and through the narrow holes creating an awe inspiring image. The water pressure is that of a high pressure jet; shooting airborne of up to 20 metres, a spectacular sight. more
