HAMELIN POOL, CARNARVON, GASCOYNE JNCT, QUOBBA

 
 The oldest Stromatolites in the world are found in Western Australia, and date to 3.7 billion years old. As such, the stromatolites provide a record of local environmental changes. Hamelin Pool in Western Australia is one of only four places on earth where living marine stromatolites exist and the location contains by far the biggest colony on earth. The Hamelin Pool stromatolites are oldest and largest living fossils on earth. Stromatolites are considered 'living fossils', part of the Earth's evolutionary history.







Scenery, road to Carnarvon


  
We took the track from the Carnarvon Town Foreshore out to 1 Mile Jetty. Unfortunately the jetty is closed due to disrepair.










How's this for digs..................

We ventured out to Gascoyne Junction for the day and stopped at Rocky Pool



 Great BBQ

How much grazing land do you want????


 View to the Kennedy Ranges from Gascoyne Junction


 Dry Gascoyne River beds




 

 Another trip was out to Quobba Blowholes
 




The "Aquarium" was a magnificent spot for a swim.







 
 How's this for a perfect Carnarvon sunset while munching on a feed of fish-n-chips
