WA Road Trip: Albany Day 1

Albany is a much larger town compared to Pemberton or Bunbury but also felt more isolated, perhaps due to the fact that it’s all the way down south. Our accommodation is the local Albany Bay View YHA where we stayed in a spacious room for six; the kitchen and bathrooms were shared.

We visited the Albany Wind Farm, a impressive renewable energy project that powers the town. Visitors can walk right up to the base of the turbines and get a good look at all eighteen turbines from the lookout points near the carpark. Personally, the man was very impressed by the wind farm and thought that this is the perfect place to stay in the event of an energy crisis or a zombie attack.

We also visited two coastal attractions called the Gap and the Bridge which are rock formations created by water erosion on rocks of differing hardness. We didn’t manage to visit the Blowhole due to time constraints but the Gap and Bridge are pretty impressive by themselves already!
