Geraldton

We are taking a break from wild flower hunting and decided to do a day trip to Geraldton.
Geraldton is an hour's drive from our campsite. We visited to the Geraldton Regional Museum first. A very interesting short film showcased the wreck HMAS Sydney and the Komararan. Also an exhibition of the Batavia, and 2 other Dutch shipwrecks Vergulde and Zuytdorp, in the 17th and 18th century.
Regional Geraldton Art Gallery featured
Bruno Boone exhibition of his cat art and another exhibit of fabric embroidery art was featured there.
We then visited Monsignor Hawes' Cathedral that was renovated beautifully with a museum attached.
After camping food, lunch at Salt Dish was delicious with very good service. Yummy truffle risotto and Nori chicken with Kimchi salad.
After lunch we did a drive to the HMAS Sydney Memorial and the foreshore before heading back to the campsite.
The drive was so beautiful back to the campsite with a full rainbow accompanying our journey.
We stopped by at the Kojarena Chapel on the way back to the campsite, built in 1934 with mass celebrated for the first time in 1935, designed by Monsignor Hawes.Read more
