We went to see the OTC radio telescope dish which was built in the 1960s to pick up satellite signals. It closed down in 1987. We went to visit the museum but it was closed so we just climbed up the stairs and had a look. It was pretty big and we saw the gears that helped move the dish around so that it could point in different directions. The dish was famous because it transmitted signals to and from the Apollo 11 spacecraft during the first moon landing in 1969.
Not much else to do in Carnarvon unless you want to go fishing or pick bananas.
Also below is a picture of Mum, Liv and Will at the Stromatolites.
