Abrolhos Voyage of Discovery
An exclusive Travel Club Tour with Kalbarri Skywalk and Geraldton Reinvented
From gorges to coast to the islands offshore, we explore an amazing slice of WA on land and sea. And we do it in the company of Travel Editor Stephen Scourfield, who will peel back its layers to reveal the region’s remarkable stories.
We start on the land, with some huge landmarks — the Pinnacles, Pink Lake and the new Skywalk in Kalbarri.
We’ll see reinvented Geraldton in a new light, and prepare ourselves to move out into the ocean.
In the Abrolhos Islands, we fully explore the environments and the stories of the Southern, Easter and the Wallabi groups, where the Batavia shipwreck story is set.
Stephen brings to this journey the insights of a writer and photographer steeped in the region, and the stories of yesterday and today.
