LAST LANDFALL FOR THE ANZACS
Walked along the bay where, in Ataturk channel, the ships carrying the first AIF gathered to form into a convoy and pick up warship escorts to take them to Egypt and eventually Gallipoli.I was so pleased and moved to be at the starting point of the journey of so many men, for whom this was their last sight of Australia, having stood on the beach where they landed at Anzac cove, in Turkey in November, last year.
SEAWAY THROUGH WHICH ANZACS DEPARTED
ALBANY'S NEWLY DEVELOPING WATERFRONT
Albany grows on you as you discover more and more little pockets. I liked the streets and old buildings that look down on the waterfront.Relaxed in a cafe bookshop and bought Ben Okri's Starbook to post to a friend who is reviewing her future.
OLD PIONEER AND MODERN APARTMENT HOUSING
Middleton beach wasvery impressive and nearby I found a whacky guest house with internet access.At Emu point was an old English style tea shop and in the milky waters of the sheltered beaches, ladies of a certain age paddled and wallowed to their hearts content.
It began to rain and I finished a perfect day in a micro-brewery where, in addition to fine beer, they served good Greek food.Albany was the best experience so far
