Monkey Mia to Exmouth drive: Hamelin Pool to Carnarvon

Afterwards, continue north to Carnarvon. At the mouth of the Gascoyne River, this is the biggest town for a long way in any direction. Things to in Carnarvon include the Gwoonwardu Mia Gascoyne Aboriginal Heritage and Cultural Centre, which delves into local Indigenous beliefs and practices.

Attractions elsewhere in Carnarvon include the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum and surrounding banana plantations.

Should you choose to break the Monkey Mia to Exmouth road trip with an overnight stay here, there are several Carnarvon accommodation options. These include the Carnarvon Motel, which has a water slide whizzing into its pool, and the Capricorn Holiday Park.
