From the Karijini National Park back to civilization it’s around 700km. We decided to go to the “city” Carnarvon, as people told us it’s so pretty and because s the whole way to Monkey Mia would have been too long. There are not that many attractions, but anyway there is a very beautiful beach, the “famous” 1-mile-jetty (a one mile long jetty 😉 ), which leads over a dry riverbed. Australia has a couple of these rivers, since they are feeding a water reservoir in the middle of Australia once there is a lot of rain during the rain-season (so around every 2-6 years).
Canarvon is very well known for its fruit farms, mainly banana and mango. Therefore it’s not surprising that there are some inventive ideas for snacks. One of them is the frozen banana, here you are the receipt if you’d like to give it a try:
- One takes a banana, remove the peel of the banana and take it into the freezer until it is totally frozen.
- Once it is frozen, take the banana out of the freezer and coat with melted chocolate and put it back in the freezer.
- Once the chocolate is hard, enjoy your frozen banana 🙂
At the camping ground we got in touch with some Frenchmen (there are almost as many of them as Germans here in Australia) and we exchanged some experiences about job seeking in Perth and Canarvon.
The next day we visited a banana and mango farm attached with a nice little café (River gums café) before we continued driving to Denham and our next couchsurfer in order to visit Sharks Bay the next MUST in our travel plans.
