Very interesting and free but can make a donation. There is a brief 3D film showing the tragic story of the sinking of the HMAS Sydney (II) and HSK Kormoran.

Certainly worth a visit and staff very friendly and helpful too.

Guided tour relating the horrendous story of the Batavia and the base levels that humans can go to. Also many displays of historical and indigenous artifacts. And a pictorial, textual and 3D film relating the sinking of the Sydney battleship in 1941, with a loss of all hands.

WOW - impressive and all free but donations accepted. The 3D film of HMAS Sydney is sensational, and we learnt heaps about Sydney & Batavia discoveries. Not to forget the 16 leg spider exhibit!

Small but very informative. Well put together. Enjoyed every minute. Maybe people with small kids must just watch their little ones not interfering where people are watching videos. So much to learn here. Would advise every visitor to Geraldton to make a turn here. It does not cost much, and you can donate $5 or don't have too.

This is yet another amazing and FREE Musuem (well done WA!).

The current exhibit on the Abrolhos is fantastic.

It's always amazing to see the history - especially with the HMAS Sydney II wreck, the details they have here are amazing.
