Geraldton is the main coastal town along the Central West Coast of Western Australia. Geraldton is a fantastic place for windsurfing, along its rugged and attractive coastline. There are also a number of things to do in Geraldton and the surrounding area. |
To find out about the history of Geraldton and
the many offshore shipwrecks, head to the interesting Geraldton
Museum. It is also worth visiting the excellent Geraldton Art
Gallery. Another aspect of Geraldton is its lobster fishing. You
can find out about this on the Lobster Factory Tour at Geraldton
Fishermans Co-op.
One other fabulous building which you shouldn't
miss is the stunning St Francis Xavier Cathedral. The Cathedral
was designed by an architect/priest called John Hawes in 1916,
although wasn't completed until 1938. It is wonderful to see,
as the architecture is fantastic.
From Geraldton a popular day trip is out to the
Abrolhous Islands,
which are just off of the coastline. You can also head inland
to the gorgeous hinterland, or take a scenic flight over the area.
There is plenty of accommodation around Geraldton, including hostels and hotels. There is also a pretty lively nightlife and a wide selection of different restaurants, with many places situated along or off of Marine Terrace |
