Location:
Geraldton is the capital of Western Australia’s Mid West and gateway to the magnificent Abrolhos Islands.
Geraldton is a Tender port, but compared to others the ship anchors quite close and the tender trip is very short.
Geraldton-Greenough’s incredible location lends itself to a host of holiday activities, especially water sports. Windsurfing, kite surfing, surfing, fishing, diving and swimming are popular choices for the energetic while those looking to relax will love lazing on our white sandy beaches, strolling its shorelines or wading in the turquoise shallows.
Western Australian Museum Overlooking the Indian Ocean, the Western Australian Museum — Geraldton celebrates the rich heritage of the land, sea and people of the Mid West region. Enjoy a guided tour through the stories from four major early shipwrecks located in the region, the Batavia, Gilt Dragon, Zuytdorp, and Zeewijk or learn more about the discovery of HMAS Sydney (II), the pride of the fleet.
