Grandpa's Guide to Driving in Geraldton

Hello, mate! Grandpa Ben is here again to give some time saving advice on your travel plans! I will not only suggest a destination but I will bring you adventure as well. So here we go because I will be taking you to Geraldton!

Geraldton is one of the port cities of Western Australia. It was only in 1839 that a European decided to explore the area. His name is George Grey but it was a decade after the area had settlers. It was when Augustus Gregory discovered lead on the Murchison River and established a mine. The area was then named after the Governor of that time Charles Fitzgerald.

Hold on a minute! Before you leave you better get a perfect car rental first. And a perfect car rental means that it offers affordable, problem and hassle free cars. Can’t think of any car rental? I have exactly what you need! Just visit Geraldton Car Rental so we can have this issue settled.

Now that we have a perfect car and a destination, what else are we waiting for? Let us not waste time and let us go straight ahead to Geraldton!

1. Mount Magnet

Ever wondered why it is called Mount Magnet? It is actually the name of a hill that has an extremely high iron content which affected the compasses of the explorers. Aside from this very interesting hill, the town also boasts of its significant Aboriginal sites that are being preserved by the local community and the Western Australian Museum. So you get to see how the Aborigines lived.

Now, you are not only watching National Geographic channel. You are exactly where you it on TV!

2.Coronation Beach

Are you in for some adrenaline rush? Surfing is a very popular activity here in Geraldton. Ride those waves and show them how real surfing is done!
