Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Your half-day excursion begins at the pier where you will board your air-conditioned motorcoach and drive along Stirling Terrace, passing a number of Albany's superb Victorian buildings, including the Courthouse, Rotunda and Old Post Office. Keep an eye out for Dog Rock, a large granite formation shaped like a dog's head that dominates Albany's central business district.

Your first stop will be Torndirrup National Park where you can walk to a lookout for glorious views of dramatic land formations called "The Gap" and "Natural Bridge." The Gap drops 78 feet to the raging sea while the Natural Bridge resembles a huge granite suspension bridge spanning the torrent. It's a thrilling vantage point, and for safety purposes, guests should not deviate from marked paths during the walk.

Next, you're off on a brief city sights drive which ends at Mt. Clarence Lookout. Here you'll have more spectacular views which include Princess Royal Harbour, King George Sound and the Albany Wind Farm. In 1791, Captain George Vancouver claimed the southern part of Western Australia for the British Crown. He named the natural harbor the Princess Royal Harbour and King George Sound.

Next, it is off to the National ANZAC Centre, a newly built, multimillion dollar museum which recognises the ANZAC legend. Your time here will be self-guided to explore independently. You will also have time to visit the gift shop before you reboard your coach for your return journey to the pier
