On the coast north of Perth. The 35 metre tall Point Moore Lighthouse is located south of the Geraldton Port and is a cultural and historical attraction. It is the oldest surviving Commonwealth lighthouse in Western Australia. The memorial for the World War II cruiser HMAS Sydney is on nearby Mount Scott and recognises the loss of the light cruiser during a fierce fight with the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran off Shark Bay in November 1941, with none of the 645 aboard surviving. In May 2009, it was recognised by the Australian government as being of national significance. MORE
