Spangled Emporer fish gathered at the rear of the boat in Coral Bay when went on a snorkelling trip. We had a great day and because of where we are (North of Tropic of Capricorn) the water was about 25 degrees Celcius. Christine managed to swim with a Turtle and a Sting Ray!

An outstanding memorial to HMAS Sydney lost with all 645 hands in 1941 just after sinking a German vessel. The dome has 645 seagulls each to represent a home coming sailor. a number of the crew came from the British RN including the commander. It stands majesticley on the top of the hill in Geraldton where it docked a number of times. The ship was never found even though it is known approximatley where it went down. Well worth a visit.

Geraldton catholic cathedral built by Monsignor John Howes prior to his call to the clergy. The name is St Francis Xavier Cathedral and Monsignor served as Bishop. As an architecht he was responsible for a number of church buildings. We were able to view the entire building and were greatly blessed by the superb craftsmanship.

An Osprey Eagle chews on a large mullet (fish) it had just plucked from the Greenough river along side. Ian had some great fishing there and another couple of meals was provided.

A replica of the Dutch sailing ship Duyfken moored by the old Swan brewery in Perth. It originally landed at the top of Australia in the early 1600's and is a fascinating boat to tour. If you want more go to http://www.littledove.org/microdocs/story.html
