Albany

shillifully

Albany is the most southerly town in WA and also one of the largest in the state with a population of 35,000. Between 1952 and 1978 the town had a whaling station; now the main industries are tourism, fishing and agriculture, which includes a small but growing wine industry. In 2015, Oranje Tractor, a small eco vineyard was visited by Charles and Camilla (they also visited the National Anzac Centre) and we followed in their footsteps.

The town is surrounded by white sand beaches and a stunning coastline.
