Carnarvon, Western Australia

Carnarvon was the third BiSON site and was the first to have a spectrometer equatorially mounted in a dome. It was commissioned in 1985.

The site is situated close to sea level, near to the Indian Ocean. The other buildings in the picture above are the relics of the old Carnarvon satellite tracking station.
