Carnarvon Tramway

The Carnarvon Tramway was built in the early 1900s and offers a twenty minute scenic trip from the town centre to the port. Listen to the detailed audio commentary to get the most out of your tour of the Carnarvon Heritage Precinct, and take the opportunity to learn about the town’s fascinating transportation history.

Carnarvon Port and Heritage Precinct has been restored and houses several museums, the northwest’s longest jetty, and a memorial to the HMAS Sydney, which sank off the coast. Travelling on the Ocean Tramway is a unique trip, one kilometre down the jetty. For the rail enthusiast you can climb aboard the beautifully restored engine ‘The Kimberley’, which was the last steam train to operate in the north of Western Australia.

The port town of Carnarvon is a ten hour drive north of Perth.
