The beautiful city of Albany

Where is Albany ?

Located on Western Australia's southern coast, Albany is 421 kilometres south of Perth. It takes approximately 4 hours 35 minutes to drive from Perth to Albany.

Albany plays a central role in the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) legend, being the last port of call for troopships departing Australia in the First World War. In many cases, it was the last time troops stepped on Australian soil and is, therefore, a prominent memorial.
