We did a tour of Albany.
We saw the Peace Park (featured in the 100 year Commemoration of the
first convoy to leave Australasia for WW1 last November), the centre of town,
Dog Rock, the Princess Royal forts (built in the 1880s to scare off the
Russians), new Centenary ANZAC Centre and the Light Horse Desert Mounted Corps
memorial. They organised flags for
people on deck for the sail away and a lot of locals had come out to watch the
ship go. One highlight was to see the
pilot jump from our ship onto his boat at speed. I yelled out for him to do it again but I
don’t think he heard me. It did seem a
bit primitive. Apparently the ship had
bought out the town’s supply of pillows as they are a bit sparse in number and
quality on the ship.
This really is a beautiful part of Australia!
