Albany
When we drove down to Albany it was about a 4.5 hour car ride south of Perth. The Longitude and Latitude of Albany is 35.0228° S, 117.8814° E. It is located on the tip of South West Australia. The car ride down had a lot of traffic on the Albany Highway which links Perth to Albany. But eventually when we passed the city there wasn’t as much. Along the ride I enjoyed the scenery of the farms with lovely animals such as horses and cows.
Albany established itself as an important European settlement after 1826 when The Brig Amity sailed from Sydney, commanded by Major Edmund Lockyer who was ordered to establish a settlement at King George Sound.

It was beautiful and the white sand was crunchy and the blue-green water was so clear that we could even see the fish swimming around in the seaweed. Two People’s Bay is home of endangered species such as Noisy Scrub-bird, Western Whipbird and Western Bristlebird, this reserve is also a haven for many honeyeaters, Southern Emu-wren and Red-eared …show more content…
When we finished the trail we asked went to the information centre the find out what they were. The people there said they were probably an endangered species seen in the area such as the Western Ground Parrot.
Several rare and endangered species survive in the coastal heathlands east of Albany, including Western Ground Parrot, though lack of recent records is worrying. Threatened birds such as Hooded Plover, Carnaby’s and Baudin’s Black-Cockatoo breed in the area.
While we were walking around town we found some really antique-style buildings which were from when they first settled here. Even though some of Albany was modernized like the shopping centres. Geographical process - There is a small cluster of antique cafes and shops which really gave me a homey feel when I walked inside. They had timber flooring and some had vintage posters hanging on the walls. We went past a really cute café called ‘Libertè’ which looked really posh like it just come from England
