ALBANY
AN OVERVIEW
Albany is an exquisite coastal city of 30,000 people located 409km’s South of Perth and is the oldest European settlement in Western Australia.
Many have tried to describe the unique beauty of this region, the diversity of scenery and the myriad of attractions but only by visiting can you truly appreciate its absolute beauty.
Albany town has been developed in such a way that none of the old historical charm has been lost.
Walking down the main street of Albany (York Street) it is easy to be transported back in time, the old building built by convict labour, the beautiful street lamps and the feeling of tranquility that one feels is just wonderful.
Two beautiful mountains one either side of the town stand like sentinels protecting the city and the friendly people who call Albany home.
Mt Clarence is to the East and Mt Melville is to the West of the city and the views from both nothing short of spectacular.
Albany has also been blessed with some awe inspiring coast lines and beautiful beaches.
There is so much to do and see in Albany that visitors no matter what their interests will never be bored and the memories will last forever.
