today we went to the HMAS Sydney memorial located on top of a hill overlookin Geraldton. we had a tour guide who was readin off bits of paper lol was quite funny as there was nothin else to do (as pointed out by the local drunk who remarked "go to Kalbarri!!!") we went to a musuem of Western Autralia which actually was quite good and interesting we went back to the hostel, tried to avoid the Americans, and caught the Greyhound to Monkey Mia

we arrived here in the afternoon and checked into the hostel, which used to be a hospital. we soon noticed the hostel was full of American christians, they were everywhere! after tea we went shopping (as it was late night shopping night) and found that only 3 or 4 shops were open and the towns pub.\ as you can tell geraldton is relativley small..
