Around Albany

The Farmers’ Markets are on just around the corner every Saturday so we walked down for a look. There were about 20-25 stalls, all local produce and everything from lilies to marron pies, yummy strawberries and other fruit. We bought some strawberries so we know they are yummy!

After lunch we went to have a look at the model railway club’s display which is open every Saturday. They have an excellent setup in rooms at the end of the old railway station. We spent quite a bit of time there having a good look. Some of the newer trains are digital so as well as movement there is sound as well which adds to the experience.

Following that, we went for a drive up to Mt Clarence, which is where the first Anzac service was held here and the location of a light horse memorial. There is a fortress at Mt Adelaide, close by, but it was just about to close so we didn’t go in today.

We drove around to Middleton Beach, the main swimming beach in Albany. That’s swimming, not surfing – no waves but looks good for a swim although it was very windy today. We drove around for a bit more of a look, then home again.

We went out for dinner tonight to a restaurant called Nonna’s which served a very good meal, very busy place. There don’t seem to be a lot of restaurants here, so although it’s good it’s also quite expensive and you really need to book.
