In 1879, Geraldton was the western terminal for the State's first government built railway line between the port and Northampton. In the 1890's it boomed through gold discoveries in the Murchison region and became increasingly important as a supply and shipping centre for the pastoral and agricultural industries.
Now almost three million tonnes of grain and minerals are shipped from the port each year and from the city foreshore and car parks, huge ships can be seen entering the port from the open sea.
A marine commercial centre, it is distinguished as the world leader in rock lobster fishing, producing world-class quality as a result of the pristine water conditions.
Situated on Champion Bay on a spectacular stretch of coastline known as the Batavia Coast, Geraldton offers all of the cultural, entertainment and shopping facilities of a major regional city, and boasts sporting facilities of a range and quality second to none.Photos
