Western Australia’s Geraldton is amongst other a fisherman’s paradise located on the shore. The pretty town’s charming centre directly on the coast is offering amazing possibilities for entertainment and physical well-being. Since most of the taverns are directly on the boardwalk, you will enjoy spending your time in one of the cafés watching the sea.
A highlight should be the first-class Western Australian Museum in Geraldton showing everything about the aboriginal people, the settlers and colonization. Visiting the museum you should not miss to have a look at the shipwreck gallery showing the dreadful ‘Batavia’ story.
You can schedule an excursion from Geraldton to the beautiful Abrohol Islands.
On the way to town, the tower of St. Francis Xavier Cathedral will attract your attention. This church is only one of the many buildings created by Monsignore John Hawes.
As for sporting activities you can rent a bike for cycle tours to the surrounring area of Geraldton.
Favouring fish you should not miss Geraldton Fisherman’s Supermarket. Here you can get fresh fish directly from the fishing boat to the shopping bag.
If you should be looking for camping grounds in Geraldton you will be disappointed. But you will find a kind of youth hostel for adults instead. Also motels and first-class hotels are offering accommodation.
There are daily flights from Geraldton to Perth and Carnarvon. Of course you can also go by bus.
