Through the streets of this vibrant and flourishing City, see art, indigenous story, settlement and connection with world events. View Princess Royal Harbour, the channel to King George Sound and the peninsulas beyond. See how the city center nestles into the valley and the expanse of surrounding natural bushland.

At the National ANZAC Centre interactive displays will take you on an intimate journey of a participant in the conflict.  Under the shade of trees planted to remember fallen soldiers, the Avenue of Honour leads to the Memorial of the Desert Mounted Corps.  The dawn service is Padre White’s story. Take in the view that the departing ANZAC Troops had before they sailed onwards to war; for some of them, the last vision of homeland at the peak of Mt Clarence.

Curving around Mt Adelaide, Breaksea Island comes into view and stories of the construction of the lighthouse and its connection to the ANZAC narrative are revealed.  Pause a moment to absorb the vista of the ocean and perhaps, if lucky, a glimpse of sheltering whales and calves. Journeying into the city centre, along the way we drive past the oldest farm in Western Australia and learn of the contribution it made to the social life and nourishment of the early community; a property with a chequered history.  Visit one of the earliest homes in Australia at Patrick Taylor Cottage.

And in a quiet moment with a refreshment speak with your local Tour Guide and find out more of this amazing regional community. Ad  this to your Albany itinerary. Explore with us and ‘we’ll show you more!”
