• Albany - lots to see here

    Sep 25–29 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

    Last time we visited Albany we only spent a couple of nights and really remember very little about the city. I remember visiting the whaling museum so we skipped it this time although I'm led to believe there have been improvements to the exhibits.

    Quite interesting were the lookouts and museum/war memorial on Anzac Hill. Albany was where the soldiers sailed out from, bound for Gallipoli. The museum focused on this event and the stories were brought to life through hand held audio. The various lookouts showed fantastic views over the port and bay areas - it was unfortunate that the weather was not showing it at its best.

    There are a couple of great natural rock formations - the Gap and Natural Bridge - which once again have been made very accessible so everyone can enjoy. There is also a place where a guy makes sculptures using a chainsaw. They were pretty good and I've included a few photos.
