Albany - Western Australia's first Settlement 03.05.12 to 07.05.12

I have been to Albany a couple times during my time as a WA girl, but it wasn't until this trip that I got the chance to discover not only Albany's main attractions but the hidden bays and beaches amongst this beautiful town on the south coast of WA, the first settlement.

Albany is fairly infamous for it's annual rainfall, but we were lucky enough to strike some fairly good weather during our stay. Although the first day we arrived it was true to it's reputation and produced a little rainfall for us, I think the first rain for us for a long time (probably since leaving VIC).

It was also here in Albany that Mike and Alana caught up with us and once again we enjoyed their companionship to and around the nooks and cranies of the coastal areas around Albany including areas such as Ledge Bay, Narnarup Beach and Two People Bay. Some spots were absolutley breathtaking, with all of us loving the ocean and sand under our feet, something we never get tired of. I enjoyed exploring Albany and would recommend this part of the world to anyone.
