Carnarvon

Carnarvon is a beautiful little town. Parts look quite old worldly charming with a section of footpath park and garden outside some small shops. 

The foreshore is well terraced, green, wide footpath, great kids play area. As per all towns, some of the modern buildings are as ugly as a cardboard box. Actually even cardboard boxes would be a big improvement if scaled up and placed side by side. They would not be garishly coloured nor have that incongruous modern ugly feel.

Went to the space museum. What a surprise! 

Tonnes of displays on rockets, the planets, full scale mock up of an Apollo and Gemini command modules.

We sat in the Apollo one for a simulated lift off, a replay of the first moon mission.

In the other section, you had to land the space shuttle, play Space Invaders, Galaga, Asteroids, Defenders. One table had a pile of sand with a contour map projected onto it. As you move the sand, the map followed. The gullies formed lakes. As you moved the sand the water would flow out or in. Another lets you get yourself onto a photo of the moon.
