Geraldton

Doing an overnight stop at Geraldton. We were at the free RV site, but got kick out at 5pm. Was told we could used a 5hr only slot if the 24hrs spaces were full originally. Well the rangers changed they minds. Told us and others to move to the area for cars and boat trailers across from Kmart. So we all up and moved.

Geraldton is a lovely town. We are quite impressed. After doing a supply run we had a look around. For some reason we haven't stopped here before.

Visited the
- St Francis Xavier Cathedral. This cathedral was also designed and created by Monsignor John Hawes (see Mullewa for more info)
- HMAS Sydney 2 memorial. I find these memorials very moving.
- Geraldton Museum. An excellent stop. Had a very good 3D movie on the HMAS Sydney 2
- checked out the lighthouse
- plus dipped my toes in the Indian Ocean for the first time this trip. A bit cool. Lovely white sands and blue water.
- picked up some tomatoes $1.50 bag and butternut pumpkins for $1 at the stall out side BCF...was getting a gas bottle filled.

Off to Kabarri tomorrow for 5 nights. Have another of Monsignor John Hawes churches to check out on the way.Read more
