Albany

Albany, while cold and windy, is a beautiful place. We are staying in a great little caravan park beside the beach at Emu Beach and walked around to a fish shop last night for a feed of snapper, salt and pepper calamari and chips for two for the princely sum of $ 28. Today has been jam packed with sightseeing, first to the Whaling station where we spent several hours (photo of old whaling vessel), before visiting the memorial to the light horsemen of WW1 (photo). I thought you might be interested in this, Mum. The monument is on the top of Mt Clarence which looks out over Albany with Princess Royal Harbour and King George Sound in the background. It is quite impressive, standing over 10 metres high. Then we took in some coastal sites including the natural arch (photo).

The wildflowers  are still prolific even in these windswept coastal areas (photo), and the coastal views are also intriguing (photo).
