Albany

Few cities in Western Australia have a history as closely tied to King George Sound’s sheltered harbour as Albany. Founded in 1826 as a British military outpost, it became the first European settlement in what is now Western Australia. Its port later held a national role as the final Australian departure point for the first troop convoy of the First World War. The National Anzac Centre on Mount Clarence interprets that connection. Nearby, the granite headlands of Torndirrup National Park meet the Southern Ocean at The Gap and Natural Bridge.
