MEET ALIENS IN CARNARVON Australia Big Righthand Turn Day 7 WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Meet friendly aliens and blast off

into outer space free of charge.

-Only in Carnarvon


Carnarvon Western Australia

Is a coastal town situated about nine hundred kilometres (560 mi) north of Perth, Western Australia. Situated on the Gascoyne River which in turn enters the Indian Ocean. Town of the never ending summer. Town of spaceman, aliens and bananas.

During the 1960s, NASA set up a tracking station just out of Carnarvon to support the Gemini and Apollo space programs. The tracking station was closed in the mid-1970s and tours are now available at the space museum.


Carnarvon Tracking Station & Museum

The tracking station was built to support NASA’s Gemini, Apollo and Skylab programs. Commissioned in 1964. Operated for 11 years. OTC Satellite Earth Station, now the museum site, is six km from Carnarvon and four km north of the Tracking Station. Allow an hour or two to look through. Carnarvon has over 180 banana plantations. I think every household owns a dog in a backyard. Walking a few street blocks with constant barking dogs. Decided to bypass the Exmouth turnoff. From the turnoff a minimum distance of eighty km to reach Exmouth. Continued on to Dampier instead. A further four hundred km away. Or about a five hour drive.
