Carnarvon is known as the Mungullah aboriginal community, but there is more to the region than what meets the eye. Carnarvon was initially known as Kuwinywardu which meant ‘neck of water’. The coastal town lies about 900 km north of the state’s capital, and it’s located at the mouth of Gascoyne River.

The town has a population of over 4,500 people, but the tourist flow in the region shoots that digits up. The ratio of men to women is equal; it is a good indication that there is someone for everyone.
