Albany

8th December

Just a short drive east from Denmark, Albany also has some beautiful coastline to explore. 

One day we went out to Torndirrup National Park, which has stunning granite outcrops and steep limestone cliffs. The crashing waves and rock formations at the Gap and Natural Bridge were impressive to see.

Following the coastline around reveals some lovely little bays and beaches. We also stopped at some cool blowholes and had fun throwing branches down the holes and watching them get spat high in the air when the waves came in. We stopped at a beautiful little beach called Misery Beach for lunch.

Also impressive to see, was the wind farm built on the edge of the coast. 

Another day we headed inland to Porongurup National Park. There are some massive granite boulders and gigantic trees. 

We did a walk up to Castle Rock, a huge granite boulder with a suspended walkway high above the ground with great views of the surrounding countryside. It was a challenging little climb to the top and really pushed by great if edges to the limits!!

We also went out to Two People’s Bay National Park and visited beautiful Little Beach.

The kids loved the caravan park and spent their down time in the games room playing pool and table tennis. They especially loved the putt putt course, where we had many a game.

Being on the bay, we also got some lovely sunsets.

Have loved Albany! Could easily stay longer and explore some if the neighbouring bays. But weather has been a bit hit and miss and we need to get a move on because time is running out.
