Cliff Head to Glenfield

Day 77 - Cliff Head to Glenfield

Cliff Head, Greenough, Geraldton, Glenfield

Friday, 5 April 2013
Decided to pack up a leave as I needed Optus reception as it was about to expire.

Called in at the Central Greenough Historic Settlement on the way to Geraldton. The buildings of Central Greenough were constructed between 1863 and 1913, are now conserved by the National Trust of Australia (WA). After looking trough the Settlement I stopped at the leaning tree and took some photos. Trees in Greenough lean due to the prevailng southerly winds.

Had a drive around Geraldton and then parked and called Greg. He is Wayne's friend from his days as a Prison Officer. He was home and invited me to his place. Tuka and I met Greg and Gucci. Gucci is Greg's fox terrier x jack russel dog and she fell in love with Tuka. Joyce, Greg's wife, was in Perth visiting relatives so Greg was baching for a week. After a chat Greg and Gucci went into town and left us to clean up.

When they returned we talked, drank and ate and then we went to Geraldton to see the National Memorial to the HMAS Sydney II at dusk. The Memorial is in memory of, and to honour the men of the HMAS Sydney II. "This magnificent memorial has become the country's premier site for honouring the 645 Australian sailors who were lost off the Western Australian coast during a World War II battle with a German raider in November 1941. RAN cruiser HMAS Sydney II and her men disappeared after a battle with German raider HSK Kormoran. While both ships were lost, many of the Kormoran crew survived the ordeal."
