We arrived in Albany on day 4 of our Western Australian trip, we had driven from Pemberton and with some side trips travelled 274k.

Albany is a port on Princess Royal Harbour of King George Sound.
It was founded in 1826 as a penal colony and is the oldest settlement in the State of Western Australia.
