Geraldton

Serving as a key hub for the vast Murchison region, Geraldton is a regional centre in Western Australia. It is a place where a significant First Nations population lives, though many face challenges with unemployment and lower incomes compared to the national figures. The community is mostly car-dependent, with fewer people able to walk to basic services than in other parts of the state. It remains a distinct regional anchor with a population that is generally older than the national First Nations average.
