Day 52 Albany Western Australia

Day 52 Albany, Western Australia

Wednesday 11th March 2020

Albany is home to the National ANZAC Centre, a newly built, multimillion dollar museum which recognises the ANZAC Legend. On our approach into Princess Royal Harbour, the ship sailed through a 500 metre gap between granite landforms. On the starboard side I could see the ANZAC Centre and the Atatürk Memorial positioned about 100 below.

The township supplied a free shuttle bus for passengers to access the main street and shopping hub. A small market offering locally distilled sandalwood (Mount Romance, the world’s largest distiller of sandalwood oil) operated at the drop off area.

Albany presented as a flourishing coastal township offering scenic land forms, ANZAC and whaling historic significance and nearby winery and treetop walk.

We had visited Albany nearly 20 years ago, visiting the area’s attractions. Today, there are new modern buildings and the township appears to be well maintained and thriving.
