Geradlton is an Indian Ocean port, clinging to the
western edge of Australia, facing west towards the
Abrolhos Islands and Africa.
Geraldton has a fantastic blend of the City
opportunities with the feel and relaxed pace of a
country town.

62 City Guide
For squeaky-white beaches, getting off the beaten
track and bunking down under the stars, head
south to Esperance. This place is so relaxed even
the kangaroos sun bake on the beach. Great for
camping, shing and bush walking, one of the best
spots there is Lucky Bay.
