Geraldton – Second Lap Reflections
Rolling into Geraldton on our second lap around Australia felt a bit like meeting an old friend — familiar sights, but this time with the kids that little bit taller (the foreshore photos really show just how much they’ve grown since last time!).
We took time to visit the HMAS Sydney II Memorial again, and it’s impossible not to feel humbled standing there, thinking of the courage and sacrifice of the 645 crew who never came home. It’s a place that leaves you quiet and reflective.
The WA Museum in Geraldton is well worth a stop, with engaging displays that bring both local history and the Sydney story to life. A great way to spend a few hours learning and connecting with the past before continuing our journey north 🤙🏼
