ALBANY AND PARRYS BEACH

When we drve into Albany we saw this rock that looks like a dog's head - they call it Dog Rock. It has a painted collar. Looks like a dog doesn't it.

We then drove down to the water where this ship, a replica of the Brig Amity is berthed. It is a tourist attraction of course.

From there we drove on to Whale World, a must visit for visitors to Albany.
Jennifer pretended to be in Titanic ....
The following day we visited Anzac Hill. We parked the car and walked up quite a few steps.

The view from the top.

Looking away from the water is this monument of WW1 Soldiers and their horses.

We set up the camera to take a photo of the three of us. What you can't see is the guys setting up large screens and audio cables as this is where the Anzac Day service was to be held the following day.

We left Albany and drove a short way to Parrys Beach. Very rugged coastline. We had to stay in the overflow as the park was full but that was okay. After we set up we went for a walk along the beach and rocks.

The following photos show how the water crashes against the rocks.


Of course we wrote in the sand.

I haven't seen these birds before.... wonder what they're called.

We went back to the van and had happy hour. After a time I got my hats out and dressed Arnold in them. He looks so funny!!



The following morning Jennifer got up early, went outside and got these awesome shots. A magic sunrise ... it was Anzac Day.


It was time to move on so we left Parrys Beach. We all enjoyed our stay and would go back and stay again.
That's all for now. Bye Bye
