Sun City, Mid West

LEANING TREE at Greenough Flats, as you can see the area has a lot of high winds from November to April, not good for the vegetation, yet this tree still grows, but fantastic for wind surfers.
ST FRANCIS XAVIER CATHEDRAL, Geraldton. Construction was commenced in 1916 and completed in 1938, the architect was John Hawes who was responsible for the design of several buildings in this city.
INSIDE the Cathedral, very unusual.
POINT MOORE this is the tallest metal lighthouse in Australia at 34 metres high. There are a few shipwrecks off this coastline, which isn't surprising with all the reefs.
HMAS SYDNEY MEMORIAL a very impressive structure with the dome's silver seagulls, each seagull represents the crew etc that perished when the ship sunk just north of here at Shark Bay. The bronze statue is a Mother waiting for her son or husband to return safely.
