Join a half-day fishing, diving or snorkelling charter to the Abrolhos Islands and explore Geraldton’s water sports playground of 122 coral-fringed islands. Scenic flights are also available. Drive two hours from Geraldton and you’ll reach the point where 400 million years of history meets the Indian Ocean in Kalbarri National Park. If you’re visiting between July and October, you can see more than 1,100 varieties of Western Australian wildflowers in bloom here, and witness the migration of humpback whales to their feeding grounds in the southern oceans. Before dinner on Kalbarri foreshore, watch the sunset light up the dramatic coastal rock formations.
