About Albany

Albany is a harbour city on Western Australia's south coast, with granite headlands, wild surf, a whaling history and the Anzac story of 1914.

Albany stands on King George Sound on Western Australia's south coast, where a military outpost was founded in 1826, three years before Perth, making it the oldest European settlement in the state. Old stone buildings fill the town centre. In 1914 the first troop convoys of the Australian and New Zealand armies sailed from the sound for the First World War, and the National Anzac Centre in Albany Heritage Park tells the story.
