Travel to the Albany Region
 

go to previous page

The Albany or Great Southern Region, covers approximately 40 000 square kilometres.

There is so much to see and do. The region features some of the most rugged and awe-inspiring scenery in Australia. It extends west to the famous tree top walk at Walpole, to the east as far as picturesque Bremer Bay.

The region boasts some of the finest food and premium wine production and is widely recognised as one of the cleanest and most eco-diverse growing areas in the Southern Hemisphere. The ever changing coast line can be both tranquil and beautiful or intensely dramatic.

It offers superb fishing and also provides protection to pods of Southern Right, Sperm, Humpback Whales and, on occasions, the rare and endangered Blue Whale.

Moving away from the coast, the terrain evolves into a mosaic of contrasts: pastured landscape, vineyards, forests, rolling hills and the towering peaks of the Stirling ranges will capture your imagination and heart forever.
