We left Mandurah WA and travelled to Albany WA via Boddington & Wagin WA through farming communities and I was struck by the number of "Blackboy" plants growing naturally along the roadside. They absolutely thrive here and are no doubt a protected species for the sheer number that are growing everywhere in WA.
We arrived in Albany WA thinking that we may have trouble filling in three days here on first appearances. Out accommodation was the All Seasons Hotel/motel which was on the main highway into Albany. Our rooms were standard motel rooms & not all that impressive - however they were comfortable enough for a few nights especially as there was a guest laundry available 24/7 which is what we needed at that stage of our holiday. Attached was a reception & restaurant which was excellent value and quality. We did not look at any other restaurants in the city as we only needed a short walk to our rooms after dinner. The staff were very helpful and gave us advice on what attractions to visit including the Wind Farm and Whale World.
The first day we did the tourist trail & thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was a bit overcast but not raining at that stage.
The second day the boys played golf at Albany Golf Course & Anne & I did some retail therapy. (The Wind Farm, Whale World and the Golf Course have got separate postings for you to view)
We had good weather for the most of our stay & left Albany very impressed with the place.
