Geraldton suburb profile

Geraldton is a regional coastal city on Western Australia's Mid West, centred on a busy port and a long foreshore that frames a marina and a seaside café strip. The city balances maritime industry with tourism and a service role for the surrounding wheatbelt, and its waterfront, fishing fleet and steady sea breeze make it a base for fishing, surfing and wind sports. Streets behind the foreshore mix older weatherboard cottages with newer apartments and conventional suburban homes, while the HMAS Sydney II memorial commands a coastal outlook. Geraldton also provides regional services, an airport link and road connections into the hinterland.
