Sight Seeing Around Geraldton
Just after I finished writing and posting the this blog on Geraldton, there was a knock at our door. It turned out to be a couple from Warrnambool who we’d never met before. They are also heading north like us so I’m sure we’ll meet them again but they are coming for drinks before dinner tonight.
This afternoon we went and did a bit of sight seeing around town. The light house is just a couple of hundred metres from the park we are staying in and a real land mark.
The dome is part of a memorial to the HMAS Sydney and was sunk in WWII. Each of the stainless steel gulls represents one of the men who lost his life. There are 645 of them. When they were dedicating the park (and before the dome was built) a flock of gulls flew over the memorial service and as gulls are supposed to represent departed souls of men lost at sea they decided to make the memorial this way.
The tree is one of the poor tortured things you see around town.
