Carnarvon Heritage Group and One Mile Jetty Interpretation Centre

The Carnarvon Heritage Precinct encompasses several museums in one area - the Railway Museum and Shearing Hall of Fame, the Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage and the One Mile Jetty Centre, which includes the story of the battle between HMAS Sydney (II) and HSK Kormoran off Shark Bay. Together, these collections tell the story of Carnarvon’s development, from its pastoral and transport history, to its role as a port. You can peer down the ‘One Mile Jetty’ where stock once boarded ships en route to far flung markets. Stroll amongst historic railway equipment and explore life during the early 1900s. Also be sure to set out on one of the several walks from the centre, one of which features a memorial to the Aboriginal people who were imprisoned at the Lock Hospitals on nearby Bernier and Dorre Islands.
