A BOAT carrying suspected asylum seekers has been escorted into the West Australian port city of Geraldton.
Barely 430km north of Perth, the Mid West region coastal centre is more than 2000km south of Christmas Island where asylum seekers coming to Australia are usually intercepted.
The vessel arrived about 12 noon (WST) on Tuesday.
Locals were stunned as the crowded fishing boat approached.
It is thought it came from Sri Lanka and had been at sea for around six weeks.
Customs officials have taken the vessel ashore, and a temporary screening centre has been set up to process the arrivals.
