No.1 Geraldton
Oakabella Homestead
Oakabella Homestead lies along the North West Coastal Highway north of Geraldton in Western Australia, and is a preserved historic homestead and pastoral site. Its buildings keep their old appearance, and the surrounding area has farmland, a creek valley and rugged rock formations that tell visitors about early pioneering and pastoral life in central Western Australia. It offers both insight into the living and working conditions of early settlers and a look at distinctive wilderness scenery, with the nearby creek valley and rocks a particular feature. Beside the highway, it suits a stop during a self-drive trip. Please care for the historic buildings, stay within open areas and take care outdoors with sun protection.
