| Fast Facts |
First settled in 1850, Geraldton-Greenough was originally named after the then Governor of Western Australia Sir Charles Fitzgerald. The area had attracted interest from Lieutenant Grey as possessing fertile farming land and presented a natural port from which to ship lead being mined in Northampton, 50 km to the north.
The name Batavia Coast comes from the story of the Dutch East Indies Ship, the Batavia which ran aground at the Abrolhos Islands on June 4th, 1629. The mutiny that followed is now a part of Australian folklore.
A port city, Geraldton-Greenough is the administrative centre of the MidWest’s diverse industry base from a world leading rock lobster fishery to agriculture and gold production. Other industries include mining, fishing, manufacturing, construction and tourism.
Magnificently Mediterranean, this city is perfect to visit all year round. You’ll find mild winters, balmy autumn evenings, summers cooled by regular sea breezes and spring bursting with the freshness of wildflowers blooming under perfect blue skies and Best Western Hospitality Inn Geraldton is based in the middle of this amazing city.
