We set out to explore Albany and started with the Visitors Centre. Our drive through the town revealed a growing, bustling place with a good variety of shops and as Caleb was pleased to see, a Kmart.
The visitors centre was a hive of activity and they were very helpful in pointing out the major attractions. The helpful volunteer even rang a number of dentists for me as I have broken a tooth and it needs some attention, but unfortunately none were available to see me over the long weekend. It will have to wait. 
We went on the tourist loop drive around the main attractions of Albany and first came across the ANZACS memorial. This was set high on the hill overlooking the Harbour. It commemorates the Calvary, horses and horsemen who sailed out of Albany Harbour in 1916-1918 to go to war. The last sighting many of them ever had of Australia was this harbour and so it is a fitting place for a memorial. Caleb hand fed some magpies before we started the trek up to the monument. 
From there we went to have a look at the Albany foreshore. The sand felt like flour under our feet, it was so fine, but the water was a tad too cold for me. As we travel further South, I am finding the water too cold for me to swim and the temperature too mild to want to anyway. 
It was nearing lunchtime and tummies were rumbling so another stop in at the supermarket was necessary before heading back to camp. Ray and I did 2 loads of washing (yes, Ray and I – he’s very handy with a peg or two) and then we relaxed for the afternoon. The plan was to go fishing but that never seemed to eventuate. 
Aaron and I mastered the art of omelette making and knowing that he is capable of this, I know he won’t starve when he is back in Melbourne fending for himself. He only has 11 more days with us before he flies out to Melbourne. Time is running out to perfect his homemaker skills!
