DESTINATION: Greenough
The Shire of Greenough surrounding the city of Geraldton is one of Australia's most prosperous sheep and wheat districts. Emblematic in the area are the leaning trees, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, shaped by the strong salt winds from the sea. Main AttractionsRestored by the National Trust, Greenough Historical Hamlet is a collection of 11 buildings from the 1880s; tours are conducted through these buildings. North of the hamlet is the Pioneer Cemetery, and the Pioneer Museum is housed in a 120-year-old farmhouse and has an excellent folk collection. Cliff Grange, opposite an 1858 flour mill, is a National Trust restored property. The mouth of the Greenough River is a good swimming and fishing spot. |
