Monkey Mia to Carnarvon road trip: Distance, drive time & stops
Monkey Mia to Carnarvon drive: North West Coastal Highway
At the junction with the highway, you can refuel at the Overlander Roadhouse. But from then on, you’re largely dealing big expanses of good old Western Australian outback. The Wooramel Lookout and Gladstone Scenic Lookout over the Drysdale River are possibly worth a photo stop.
A little further along, the Wooramel Roadhouse is the last fuel stop before Carnarvon.
Carnarvon at the mouth of the Gascoyne River is sunny and surprisingly pleasant. Things to in Carnarvon include exploring the beliefs and heritage of the local Indigenous people at the Gwoonwardu Mia Gascoyne Aboriginal Heritage and Cultural Centre.
Other Carnarvon attractions include the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum and the area’s banana plantations.
