 | | Although the river flows only after cyclonic rains, its underground aquifer supports a wide variety of agricultural produce including tropical fruits such as bananas, paw paws and mangoes, citrus, avocados, grapes and vegetable crops such as tomatoes, beans, capsicum and asparagus. |
 | | Like most coastal urban areas, residential subdivision in Carnarvon has gone upmarket recently with "canal" type lots going on sale offering direct frontage to ‘The Fascine’, the arm of the Gascoyne which flows through town. |
 | | I’m not sure whether in Carnarvon’s case, this is a good thing, but perhaps, as an interloper, it’s not for me to judge. |
