Great video, Jason. Perth is the most isolated capital in the world but Geraldton, being 420 km north of Perth, is even more isolated, which is why very few international visitors make the trip up there. I lived in Geraldton from 1975-1980 (basically my high school years) and although things were pretty tough for my family I would say it was happiest time of my life. The last time I went back was around 1998 so I imagine things have changed a lot.Many thanks for uploading and best of luck on your travels 🙂
Australia is no longer the Country you used to know. Meth Addicts Alcohol drug pushing attacks in kids. Can't walk down the street without being attacked. Foreign untrained cops shoot to kill. Mass Immigration has destroyed Australia.
seeing Gero through your eyes - i see why i love it - it is quintessentially Australian. the two storey pubs on corners with facades. I'm moving there from N NSW. coz i love it so much
Thanks for that Jason. Only passed through on the way to Kalbari since we lived there along with your family all those years ago. Your mum told me you did travel books etc. and you now live here in Perth. Deneice
@JasonSmartTravel All good here thanks Jason. It was lovely to see Geraldton again. So sorry about your dad. I had a lovely 2 weeks with them a few years ago.
Im going through 482 visa process so should be in Perth WA buy October or November. Second attempt at emmigrating to Oz after lasting 76 days first time around in Hobart. This job is the right one and super nice people, got a mate in Perth from Uni in UK so I am confident I can make this work. Doing it single is hard but this time I am prepared. I am going to buy a car and head out of Perth as much as I can. I am excited and a little scared :)
@@Paddy234 thanks. I will undoubtedly. I’ve had a massive crises of confidence and nearly stopped the process. Long story short I’m ok and continuing, visa application now submitted so the wait begins
great place have been couple of times 3 cousins live there with all there many kids n grandkids and another cousin who lives down the road in dongarra 10 pound poms in 63
I live in Geraldton, It is great here, if you like abusive drunks, muggings, home invasions or verbal abuse from 5 year old's. Don't bother calling the Police when this happens either, they probably wont bother to respond. If they do it will be several hours after the fact. Sadly Gero used to be great, we had a booming tourist industry but the crime and abusive behavior has killed that and people just pass through now and i don't blame them. Truth is, from a "local" if you want a nice relaxing holiday destination, where you can relax and is safe for your kids for Crissake, don't come here. It is a $hithole these days.
@@JasonSmartTravel Yeah, tourism is about nil nowdays, the coaches don't stop anymore they bypass and no more cruise ships, they stopped about 12 years ago. The crime is not as bad as Alice Springs yet but, its not THAT far behind.
In all fairness, everyplace you go to these days has its share of problems. If you open an online newspaper anywhere in Australia, you will see crime and other social problems have gone up considerably in the last 10-20 years. Show me one place in Australia - if not the world - that hasn't got abusive drunks, muggings, murders, home invasion and I will eat my own words.

I lived in Geraldton and loved it, didn't want to leave.

I live in Barbados and have been through Geraldton four times. That was many years ago, to spend Easter weekend in Carnarvon.
I can't believe that you didn't mention the HMAS Sydney memorial. I think one of the early shots was even from the HMAS Sydney look-out point.

Wow, Deneice! Long time no hear! Actually, we were only on WA for a term time break. We actually live and work in Jakarta. Hope you are well.

Yeah, it was really sad about dad. Still is. I’ve just spend a week with my mum but am now on my way back to Indonesia. Take care!
She said you were going over. Hope she is doing ok. Will write to her. X

@@MrCraptakular I had my 482 approved 2 days after the application was submitted, so keep the spirit up!
@@jacklondon71 Was that a recent application? I think there is an accredited sponsor fast track programme which my company won't be on.
@@MrCraptakular Yes, that was last month. Sorry, I am not sure about the accredited sponsor thing. Wish you good luck!

Yeah, I just checked news reports about Geraldton. Crime is bad! When I lived in Tarcoola, I loved it. But they was back in the 80s
@@JasonSmartTravel Lol, Gero ENDED at Tarcoola in the 80'S..
