Fishing, Golf, Travel, Music
We moved to Carnarvon because of the fishing with great spots like Quobba and Exmouth on our doorstep. We have travelled extensively around WA mostly. Just about every town has a golf course so that is one of the first things packed! My music tastes centre around rock music with a heavy influence of Aussie rock music.
