Day 4, Albany

We have been in Albany for 2 full days now and although I was here as a kid, my memory of its beautiful coastline had either faded or wasn't etched into the memory of a child.

Some views of the Albany coast remind me of the Mediterranean coastline.

Today we saw the blowholes and witnessed the almighty power of the ocean. The natural bridge and the gap were also beautiful.

We spent several hours learning about Albany's whaling industry of old, at Whale World.
It amazes me still at how smart the human race thinks it is, when in actual fact, at times mankind is just plain stupid by almost wiping out the whale population in the 70's.

Thank goodness government finally had the common sense, in Australia at least, to put an end to it but not before causing generations of damage.

The weather has been average so no beaches yet, we will save that for tomorrow when (fingers crossed) the sun makes an appearance.
