Events and Highlights in Amazing Albany

There is so much to see in and around Albany ... More than any camera can capture ... Don't miss the fantastic areas like this one at Little Beach and many other places around Amazing Albany.

September and October are Wild Flower months for Albany and the surrounding areas ... something really special to experience.  Spend a few days at Balneaire and radiate out on jaunts daily to take in the beauty.

Apart from scenery, Albany is the earliest settlement in Western Australia. The Brig Amity Sailing vessel is evidence of brave men who ventured away from their home countries to dicover Gems like Albany ... formerly Fredrickstown. Visit the Anzac Memorial on Mt Adelaide constructed in memory of brave men who left the shores of Albany for their last fateful journey to give us the peace we still enjoy today.

A 20 minute drive along Frenchman's bay can make a visit to Whale World an event in your life while on Holiday in Albany. On the way there, call and see the fantastic natural occurrences such as Natural Bridge; The Gap; The Blow Holes. Then come back to relax at Balneaire Seaside Resort.

Also along Frenchman's Bay road, take the turn off to the Windmill Farm, A truly magnificent sight,to see how renewable resources are used to generate a large proportion of the electricity used by the city of Albany. Just 50 metres away you will also be able to walk along a Boardwalk constructed with the use of prison labour. A magnificent view of the ocean. Good fishing from the narrow beach known as "Sand Patch"  but to get there, you need to be energetic enough to go down about 1000 steps and be prepared to carry your catch up the same way. Many enthusiasts do!

So much in Albany to delight anyone interested in history or folk who are simply interested in the past for old times sake..
