Geraldton to Cliff Head North at Beekeepers Reserve

The caravan Park was located at the most western point of the town and we decided to have a closer look at the light house which we could see from the campsite earlier this morning. We noticed a few kite-surfers getting ready to ride the waves so we hung around for a while to see their acrobatic jumps in the air.

Monique had heard of a little weekend market at the Old Geraldton Railway Station and upon arrival we noticed it was little indeed. There were only 6 or 7 stalls. We bought some cheap veggies and soon found out there were some very cute and creative shops located in the old station itself.

Yesterday we had seen some big art work up a hill and as we seemed to be close we decided to drive up the steep hill to have a better look. It worked out to be one of the most beautiful spectacular and catching memorial we had ever come across in Australia. It was designed to honor the Sydney HMAS II (marine ship), and its 645 crew who lost their lives on 19^th Nov 1941. Every aspect of this memorial is so well done and thought through, that it actually made a big impression on us.

Back in the city town center we visited the new information center to gather some information about the must -sees further along the road down to Perth. The lady at the center was very helpful. She made sure we visited the new pier just behind the center from where you could see the local see lions. The pier looked brand-new and modern and was quite nice but and indeed we saw a big fat see lion sunbathing on one of the rocks.

From Geraldton we took the coastal highway down south and couldn’t help but noticing the impact the wind had on some of the trees.

We decided to visit Greenough Historic Settlement and after having an awful coffee but a yummy carrot cake we paid the entrance fee to see the historic buildings on this site. A flyer told us more on the individual buildings and we enjoyed walking around going back in time.

Via Port Denison, where we were almost blown away from their lookout, we drove to Beekeepers Conservation Reserve. Here we surprisingly found a really lovely spot to camp for free. Only in Australia you find amazing places like this for free!
