ALBANY

 

After 7 days of camping in sand and red dirt, watching every drop of water, you can imagine how relieved I was, to stay in a caravan park in Albany, even if it was $56 a night!  When connected to water, we are able to have long showers and wash our hair(we were turning a bit feral).   Tap water has been scarce and very salty for the last few weeks.  We had a great spot on the King River, which was a nice change from the blowy beach.  Albany is a pretty big place built around a couple of rock mountains, with spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches. Torndirrup Nat Park is spectacular.  With large smooth rocks and beautiful bays, it was impressive, once joined to Antarctica 45 million years ago, (apparently).  The Gap and the Bridge have the WOW factor.  It is bigger than it looks in the photos.
