Albany is the oldest settlement in Western Australia, founded by Europeans in 1826. When visiting the region, a visit to Torndirrup National Park is a must. Here, you will find attractions such as the Blowholes, the Gap and Natural Bridge, offering spectacular views over the Southern Ocean. You might even spot a whale between June and October. Alternatively, you can join a whale watching tour, followed by a visit to the Discovery Bay Museum where you will learn the history of Albany’s old whaling station. The region is surrounded by beautiful stretches of beaches, including Little Beach and Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve – great spots for a leisurely picnic. Stay overnight in Albany.
