A Debt Owed to the Past Geraldon and Mining of Lead
A Centenary retrospective traces early Geraldton lead mining from 1849 by the Geraldine Mining Company on the Murchison River. It notes Governor FitzGerald, galena discovery by A C Gregory, first mine and port at Champion Bay, and military protection for settlers. The piece recalls the Geraldine Arms license, the Smelter ruins, and the role of mining in spawning Geraldton’s growth, alongside later pastoral expansion and wool trade.
