Following the Kwinana Freeway to the Albany Highway, break the four-hour-and-forty-minute drive with a refreshment stop in one of the country towns of the Wheatbelt along the way. Your first destination is the very same spot where the first European settlers set foot in Western Australia – Albany. Take in almost two centuries of history on a 30-minute self-guided walk, following the Amity Trail. Visit Discovery Bay’s Historic Whaling Station (previously known as Whale World) – it's the only museum of its kind in the world to be housed in a former whaling station. Or step inside the National Anzac Centre where you'll take a virtual journey from King George Sound to the battlefields of the First World War, following the footsteps of the very first convoy of ANZAC's to depart Australian soil in 1914. In and among Albany’s 50 heritage buildings, you’ll find restaurants, taverns, and plenty of accommodation options.
