Albany (Monday 7th June 2010)

Ship coming into port at Albany.

The view from Albany coastline. Islands out at sea.

Rained all day! No....... the rain wasn't going to stop us so we went sight-seeing anyway, come rain, hail or shine.

Pete & his $5 umbrella. It doesn't work. Funny that!

The Old Farm - 'Strawberry Hill' was the first farm settled in Western Australia and it was amazing both inside and out. The homestead was fully furnished with the original furniture of the time and it was just so beautiful. Pete had trouble getting me to leave.

From here we went to the Mt Clarence Desert Corps Memorial.

and then on to Mt Adelaide, the Princess Royal Fortress.

The rain got heavier so we headed into town for lunch followed by a quick visit to the Brig Amity, a replica ship and a 'one teacher school' building which was built in 1925 with some of the original desks once used.

We were in bed early tonight. It's still raining outside.
