Whale Watching
If you visit Albany between June and October you may be able to spot the magnificent creatures for yourself! The whales migrate during this time so keep your eyes peeled to spot them from land based viewing spots. If you don’t have any luck spotting them in real life, visit Whale World which houses displays and information about the whaling days as well as a skeleton of the last whale taken from the sea.

Step back in time
Step back in time and discover the historic town of Albany. The birthplace of the Dawn Service tradition, 38 ships escorts by six warships departed Albany bound for the Great War, eventually landing at Gallipoli. A start of the art interpretive centre now stands there where you can explore the history of the Great War and ANZACs.
