Albany, AU

Spent the day exploring Albany, a coastal whaling town on the southwest coast.  It had much to offer and in the spirit of the G20 Conference, is way ahead of the curve with a phenomenal wind farm...take note Geoff :)...80% of Albany's power is generated here.
A couple of weeks ago they opened the ANZAC Center, commemorating veterans from Australia and United States contributions and sacrifices in WW1 and WW11.  The Australian contributions to the Gallipoli Campaign was launched from Albany.

We saw a natural bridge, blowholes, and the beautiful coastline that used to be connected to Antarctica.  Australia continues to drift as a continent, about a foot per year.
