- View the water from a different perspective with a range of adventurous activities.
- Be sure to make a stop at the Geraldton Museum. Entry is free, and this is the place to go and discover the stories of the people, culture and environment of the mid-west region.
- The Geraldton Museum displays the maritime history of the area, in particular the infamous Batavia.
- Outside the museum, visit one of the most beautiful war memorials in Australia, and reflect on the bravery of our service men and women.
