From Denmark, a 55-minute drive east through Albany (Kinjarling) will bring you to Discovery Bay and the state-of-the-art National Anzac Centre, where you can step into the boots of one of the 40,000 Anzacs who fought in the First World War. As you enter the centre, you’ll assume the identity of an Anzac and follow their personal journey from recruitment and training to conflict on the frontline in Gallipoli, the Middle East or the Western Front. Alternatively, visit the historic Whaling Station, a unique museum showcasing the region’s natural diversity and whaling history in a formerly fully-operational whaling station. One of Western Australia’s most dramatic coastlines – Torndirrup National Park – is just a 10-minute drive from Discovery Bay, on the other side of the peninsular. Gaze in awe at The Gap, Natural Bridge and The Blowholes, and if you stand atop these tall cliffs between July and October, you may spot migrating whales too. Head back to the heritage buildings of Albany and choose from an array of restaurants, taverns and accommodation options.
