Travelling to Albany Western Australia? Here’s a short guide on where to stay, and what to see and do on your road trip. PS stick around til the end for my favourite part of the video hehehehe.
This week we soak in the cultural side of Albany, stepping back in time at the National Anzac Centre, discovering the local hot spot ‘The Squid Shack’ and kicking back for sundowners back at our FREE beach camp.
WHERE TO STAY
⛺️ Cosy Corner East Campground
An epic FREE CAMP (outside peak season, and $15 per site in peak), right next to the beach. Toilets & a dump point included. Arrive at 10am ish to grab a spot as people leave. 20 mins drive to Albany, grab a coffee from the lovely general store in walking distance (they also do morning yoga).
WHAT TO DO?
🇦🇺😢 Step back in time at the National Anzac Centre
Calling all non-museum folk, this one’s for you. Please don’t look past this gem, as it’s the NATIONAL centre, there is SO MUCH TO EXPLORE and learn about. There is a huge outdoor area that’s 100% free and an inside exhibition with a small entry fee. Honestly the best ‘museum’ we’ve been to.
🐟🍟 Indulge at The Squid Shack
A local hot spot in Emu Point for super local, super fresh fish and chips. Highly recommend the Grouper - very succulent and juicy! YUM
🍻🏝 Kick back with a Wilson’s Beer
Grab yourself some local beers, our preference is Wilson’s Blonde Ale (not sponsored!), find yourself a west facing beach and kick back to watch the sunset with a cold one. Enjoy guys!
