OUR COMMUNITY MUSEUMS A Step Back In Time

A fascinating journey through the history of our State awaits you in the City of Greater Geraldton. Gateway to the home of the Yamaji People, Champion Bay (Jambinu) was first settled in 1849. The rich hinterlands soon played a vital role in the development of the new Colony, with export and pastoralist expansion opportunities in abundance. The origins of the district, the discovery of the Murchison Goldfields, stories of immigration and the impact of the war years are just some of the historic themes you can explore within the walls of our Community Museums. Why not enjoy their vintage feel on your next visit?
