Australia Cruise Christmas/Exmouth/Geraldton

Cruised Dec. 21, 2019 to Jan. 19 from Bali to Tauranga NZ on Oceania Regatta. After two days at sea, our first ports were scheduled to be in Western Australia - Exmouth (a snorkeling/diving hub), and Geraldton. We missed Exmouth due to bad weather but enjoyed Geraldton.
