Geraldton like I expected, it was a very nice town. It’s quite big, bigger than I thought. It has interesting architectures around the city. Lots of art deco buildings and also bit German feel to it.
I am not a church goer as such but do like a good cathedral or church. I went into one here today, the St. Francis Cathedral. It was not as outrages as the ones you see in Europe. It just had a nice feel to it…. After the cathedral, I wandered around the city for an hour or so and took some street shots.
Couldn’t stayed in Geraldton too long as I had to get to Perth and wanted to visit The Pinnacles before hand. I has a quick stopover at Jurien Bay, a small seaside town to have a ice cream and coffee before moving on to the Pinnacles Desert.
The Pinnacles was as strange and interesting as any place could be. Thousands of these sandstone pillars raised from the desert floor. How did they get here? I did the desert drive instead of the walk as it was getting a bit late. I made a short video and will post it shortly.
Arrived in Perth at my friend’s place just before 7pm. Had tacos for dinner and a few beers. Nice to be in a home after 6 weeks of adventure. One thing though, it was really weird to see traffic again… It is amazing to me that the 6 weeks make such a impact on me. I felt like I was away from civilisation for lot longer than I actually had.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing Greg and hanging out with Eamon and Nicholas for a few days. I better not get too comfortable here 🙂
