We started at the ANZAC site visiting the Princess Royal fortress in the historic park with lots of displays from WWI. The lookouts provided views over the harbour that the 1914 convoys sailed from.
Albany was settled due to the harbour and it was for this reason that the convoys left this port for the fighting in Africa and Europe in 1914
Gail on the replica of the brig Amity that took the settlers from NSW to settle the west. Soldiers and convicts!
We drove out to Frenchman's Bay visiting beautiful and rugged headlands and beaches along with the historic Norwegian whaling station and the Australian not closed until 1978! The stand out places were The Gap and the Natural Bridge. Simply cannot be captured on film to do it justice!
Gail at the Gap. The viewing platform is seen in the background. Only opened this year.
Gail over the Gap. Interesting with the see through floor!
The view from the platform
The vegetation on top of the cliffs
The natural bridge. This coastline is dangerous!
We drove as far as we could along the peninsula but finally returned to Albany for the night.

Gorgeous photos. Shame the weather hasn't been as nice as it was in Forster!
