Mount Scott.
The city is home to the Port of Geraldton, a major west coast seaport. Geraldton is an important service and logistics center for regional mining, fishing, wheat, sheep and tourism industries.
We arrived in Geraldton on August 23, 2015, and found a caravan park easily down by the sea. So it's along time in fact it's 10 years since we visited there.
There is a hill in Geraldton called Mount Scott, we could see it but be hanged if we could find it. Two days of driving around the city sightseeing and we stumbled across the hill.
On this hill is the 'Rotary Memorial, World War 11 cruiser Sydney.
The memorial recognises the loss of the light cruiser during a mutually destructive fight with the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran off Shark Bay in November 1941, with none of the 645 aboard surviving.
(Note, this vessel is the second Australian warship to be named HMAS Sydney, and is sometimes referred to as HMAS Sydney (II))

The Waiting Women. Waiting for her child to return, but of course, he never does!
The Point Moore Lighthouse, located south of the Geraldton Port is a cultural and historical attraction. It is the oldest surviving Commonwealth lighthouse in Western Australia and was also the first steel tower to be constructed on the mainland of Australia. The Point Moore lighthouse stands 35m tall and its 1000w Tungsten Halogen Lamp can be seen for 23 nautical miles. It began operation in 1878.
A very long way from home.
