Landmarks and Buildings

Located on Geraldton’s waterfront, the Big Marble – also known as the Horizon Ball – is a striking public artwork that reflects the region’s coastal identity and connection to the natural environment.

This large, polished sphere sits prominently along the shoreline, capturing and reflecting the surrounding ocean, sky and landscape.

Designed to engage visitors through its simple yet captivating form, the Horizon Ball invites people to pause and take in the expansive views of the Indian Ocean. Its reflective surface changes throughout the day, mirroring shifting light and weather conditions to create an ever-evolving visual experience.

Set within Geraldton’s foreshore precinct, the sculpture forms part of a broader network of public art, walking paths and open spaces. Its accessible location makes it a popular spot for photography, short walks and quiet moments by the sea.

Free to visit and easily reached from surrounding pathways and public areas, the Big Marble offers a contemporary artistic landmark that complements Geraldton’s relaxed coastal atmosphere and vibrant waterfront setting.
