Little Beach

This beach is always a stunner. Swimming in crystal clear water, squeaky clean white sand and there is a walk over the rocks to other areas if you feel like exploring

National Anzac Centre

Reviewed By ElvisPKing - Palmerston, Australia

Dignified and appropriate memorial to those who gave so much for the future of their country. Housed in a beautifully designed building in sympathy with its surroundings in Albany’s Mount Clarence Parklands this is a thoughtful and dynamic collection and tribute to the Anzacs who left these shores for WWI. Relating the stories of the Anzac troops from recruitment to convoy to the fields of Gallipoli and Flanders through narrative, interactive displays and a unique system of following a single soldier, this memorial takes you to what it was really like, from both sides of the conflict. A place to pause and reflect.

The most beautiful sand on the most beautiful beach and a hidden gem. Hardly a person on the beach. Dog friendly and swim friendly too.

Bald Head Walk Trail

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia

We had just done three days walking in the Stirling Range and I have to say I found this walk far more enjoyable and scenic. You must go prepared though as it is a long walk with no shade and definitely the domain of the FLY. Hats, suncsreen, LOTs of water and a fly net and you will be fine. The whole walk has stunning views, so take time to stop and look. Your eventually arrive at a 'bald head' looking rock, but don't be fooled into thinking that is the end...there is a rather scrabbly sand climb/slide to tackle before you reach the spectacular finale. Its listed as a Grade 5 walk (Bluff Knoll is only a Grade 4), I suspect this is may be due to the distance and perhaps the sandy scrabble..but we didn't find it any more challenging. If you enjoy bush walking give this go.

Wilson Brewing Company

Wilson Brewing Company is a family owned and operated craft brewery, located in beautiful Albany, western Australia. Using the freshest local and Australian produce to hand craft and alternative to mass produced commercial beer. Wilson Brewing Company offers five core beers, along with monthly seasonal beer releases.

Reviewed By Ktsusan - Bunbury, Australia

My husband organised a catch up with friends at Wilson’s brewing company. Located in a shed with a beautiful wood fire, pool tables and their brewery cat- Barley, this felt homey, welcoming and warm. Both males had a paddle, and enjoyed the beer immensely, food was delicious and great value for money. Purchasing cartons here was significantly cheaper than from chain liquor stores, and we happily bought a few to help support this amazing business. If you’re looking for a low key brewery with all of the deliciousness (food and beverage)- you’ve found the place to visit.

Middleton Beach

Reviewed By WildLillyRun - Sydney, Australia

Long stretch of pure white sand and azure ocean, along with clean air make this beach a wonderful place to visit. Walk from one end to the other on hard sand. You will barely see another soul. It’s heaven.
