Geraldton


We were fortunate to be in Geraldton to witness the arrival of the 'Endeavour' replica which is currently circumnavigating Australia. It was quite a ceromony with a reproduction of the 'BATAVIA' longboat rowing out to meet it amid a cannonball salute before escorting it to port.



















HMAS Sydney II Memorial - Geraldton. The centre of the memorial is the 'Dome of Souls' sculpted from a flock of 645 stainless steel Silver Gulls (each gull represents one of the 645 men lost)











The Geraldton Cathedral and its usual interior striped paintwork
