Geraldton Fishermen's Co-operative opens the doors to their impressive Brolos Brand 90 tonne capacity live lobster processing plant located on Fishermen's Wharf (see map) during the Western Rock Lobster Season (November 15th – August 31st). Tour guides give tourists and locals alike a behind-the-scenes insight into this multi-million dollar regional industry.

The tour aims to educate people on the Western Rock Lobster industry and why the clear Batavia waters are a haven for this seafood delicacy. The processing plant also demonstrates to visitors the large investment by the Geraldton Fishermen's Co-operative Ltd in research and development to maintain an ideal environment for export grade live Brolos lobsters.

The guides talk many participants into holding some of the larger live Western Rock Lobsters in their hands, sparking squeals of delight all captured in the flurry of camera lights.

The Geraldton Fishermen's Co-operative Live Lobster Factory Tour is the proud recipient of the 2004 Tourism Midwest Awards for best-guided tour.
