    Western Australian Museum – Geraldton

    This excellent museum has intelligent multimedia displays on the area's natural, cultural and Indigenous history. The atmospheric Shipwreck Gallery documents the tragic story of the Batavia, while video footage reveals the sunken HMAS Sydney. On Sunday at 2pm you can sail in the longboat moored behind the museum.

    The crafts here are secondary to the gloomy cells that housed prisoners from 1858 to 1986 and the historic documents detailing their grim circumstances.
