Geralton

Geralton is home to the largest crayfish fleet on the west coast, it is also the wind surfing capital of Australia, not hard to believe when you see the leaning tree's
It  has a beautiful memorial to the sailors on the HMAS Sydney, it's a dome made up of 645 sea gulls which represent each soldier lost on the ship. There is also a bronze statue of the Waiting Woman, she looks out to sea waiting for the ships return.

Even she is fighting the wind!

There are some very interesting old building, this is St Xaviers and the Freemasons Hotel.



You would think a town this big would have a chinese restaurant open on a Saturday at lunchtime, but no, all three were closed! WA 2 hours and 20 years behind!
