Geraldton Attractions

Before your arrival in Geraldton, Western Australia check out the holiday activities and attractions to include in your tour of the region. Of the most intriguing is the Hutt River province – a principality that is actually now an independent sovereign state of Australia since 1970. Enjoy a unique step back into Australian history when you visit this quaint township, especially if you follow up with a visit to the Western Australian Museum.

Next on the list would be some of Geraldton's water adventures and on the smorgasbord of fun is spectacular diving on the magnificent 'Batavia' and Zuytdorp wrecks. Then there's fishing the outer seas or even visiting the wharves to pick up a famous rock lobster for dinner when in season.

Geraldton is also well known for producing stunning Abrohlos pearls. And you can't go past the exhilaration of windsurfing and wave riding which attracts many visitors to Geraldton in the first place.

For land-based interests, a trip to the Geraldton Markets to peruse and purchase the wares of talented local artists, as well as fresh produce, is a must. From there a viewing of the seasonal blooms of Australian wildflowers including mulla mulla, white everlasting and hakea will connect you to the heart of the west.
