Greater GeraldtonThe city of Geraldton is a four and a half hour drive north of Perth and is the heart of Australia’s Coral Coast.
Geraldton boasts a vibrant city centre yet retains the laidback feel of the country. And the best part? It is sprawled alongside the dazzling waters of the Indian Ocean.The result is a mix of city, coast and country – a place where you can breathe in the scent of bush wildflowers during spring, or smell the fresh salty air of the ocean on the coast; you can dine in a waterfront city restaurant, or stroll barefoot on the beach. The heart of this regional hub is sprawled along the foreshore adorned with grassy parklands, playgrounds,
public art, and foot and cycle paths. This is the ideal place to wile away an afternoon with a picnic by the ocean, or swim, cycle, jog and walk soaking up the area’s warm Mediterranean climate.Embracing the foreshore is the Geraldton city centre. Few cities in the world boast such close proximity to the ocean. This vibrant hub is abuzz with activity as shoppers cruise the partial mall and people fill bars, cafes and restaurants. Colourful art flags flap in the sea breeze and palms add a tropical feel to this seaside city centre.But it is not just the city centre that impresses visitors. Be sure to visit some of the coastline where activities such as swimming, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, diving and snorkelling are popular.

HeritageAlthough most archaeological evidence suggests Aboriginal settlement of the Geraldton region extends back at least 40,000 years, it was probably not until the 17th century that Europeans took an interest in this area.
In 1629, two Dutchmen were marooned on the coast by Francisco Pelsaert for their part in the Batavia Mutiny. Despite the events surrounding the wrecks of the Batavia (1629) and Zuytdorp (1712) including some of the most treacherous and blood-thirsty episodes in the annals of maritime history, the Dutch had no major impact on the region’s development.Later, French voyagers also passed by the coast; however, the first official visit to the area was made by a British Captain, Phillip Parker King, in 1822. In 1839, Lieutenant Grey and a party of 12 men were shipwrecked in Gantheaume Bay, forcing them to return to Perth on foot.The following year HMS Beagle chartered Champion Bay and, in 1849, John Septimus Roe surveyed the town site. The town was named after the Governor of the colony, Sir Charles Fitzgerald.The Geraldine Lead Mine was also named in his honour. It was the need to establish facilities for the export of lead from the Geraldine Lead Mine that resulted in a port being built at Champion Bay and, in 1860, a jetty was constructed to improve port facilities.In 1879 a railway was constructed linking the mineral mines at Northampton and agricultural produce from the Greenough Flats with the Port of Geraldton. Following the discovery of gold on the Murchison another jetty was built, new businesses opened, industry commenced and Geraldton prospered. In 1894, Geraldton was finally linked to Perth by rail from Walkaway to Midland, via the Midland Railway Line. By the 1930s the port had been modernised and bulk handling facilities constructed to handle increased grain shipments.
HMAS SYDNEY II MEMORIALLocated on Mount Scott in Geraldton, this memorial commemorates the men on board the HMAS Sydney II when it sank off Shark Coast while engaging the German raider Kormoran.This amazing structure, the final 5th element of which was completed in 2011, is well worth a visit. The Geraldton Voluntary Tour Guides Association runs daily tours commencing at 10.30am.
ST FRANCIS XAVIER CATHEDRALLocated on Maitland Street and built in stages from commencement in 1916, this cathedral of Byzantine
style architecture was one of the masterpieces of Monsignor John Hawes who, before joining the priesthood, was an architect in England.
THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER’S COTTAGEThis beautiful cottage was built in 1876 for the Geraldton lighthouse keeper and his family. The cottage is open to the public Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am to 3.30pm. Entry fees apply. The Historical Society holds a market on the grounds every fifth Sunday of the month.
OLD VICTORIA HOSPITAL From 1887 to 1966, these buildings were part of the Victoria District Hospital, and were then used as a regional prison until 1984. After major restoration the complex was reopened in 1988 and is now managed by the National Trust. Guided tours are available Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2pm.
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM – GERALDTONIndigenous and European history are on display at the magnificent Western Australian Museum in Geraldton. A range of exciting and temporary exhibitions are on throughout the year and the museum shop stocks an excellent range of books, gifts and souvenirs. Entry is by donation.

Abrolhos IslandsThis archipelago of 122 low-lying coral isles about 70kms from Geraldton is renowned for its unique marine environment, seabird colonies, seasonal rock lobster industry and rich, yet gruesome, maritime history.
The sea life here is world-class, with sensational live coral reefs, first-class diving grounds, an abundance of fish life, friendly sea lions, pods of dolphins and migratory humpback whales. Nature lovers also find the islands interesting as they support one of Australia’s most important areas for seabirds. Prolific fish life also attracts recreational fishers who reel in delicacies like baldchin groper, dhufish and coral trout. But the Abrolhos is perhaps most famed for its role in the Batavia tragedy. In 1629, the Dutch East Indies sailing ship, the Batavia, ran aground on one of the Abrolhos’s treacherous reefs. Most of her passengers scrambled ashore the virtually waterless rocky isles and survived the wreckage; however, a small group of mutineers embarked on a bloody slaughter that saw 125 men, women and children slain on the desolate isles. Take a scenic flight and land on one of the islands, or set out on a dive, fishing or eco boat charter.
