Albany

Picture
Albany is situated on the southern coast of Western Australia, and is a 4 hour 45 minute drive from Perth.

Prepare to be blown away by Albany’s dramatic convict and maritime history, set against a stunning backdrop of rugged granite cliffs and the green ocean.


Picture
Discovered by Captain Vancouver in 1791 and settled in 1826, around 50 colonial buildings have survived - now housing museums, art and craft galleries and restaurants.

The best way to take it all in is to follow the Amity Trail, a 30 minute self-guided walk that takes you past historical buildings of note.
