TRIP LIST

Thursday 24th May. Cape Riche Campground to Albany

This morning we had a walk on the little beach and a climb on the rocky headland need the campsite. Arthur even threw in a line but did not catch dinner.



We drove to Albany which was only about 90 kilometres away so decided to go for a drive around the district once we had set up at Albany Gardens Holiday Resort – quite a nice spot, really large sites, green grass and not too crowded. Will get some washing done here.

Our drive took us to the Gap and Natural Bridge in Torndirrup National Parks. There are quite a few bushfires in the area so it's quite smoky, unfortunately.



From there we drove on to the Historic Whaling Station. Didn't feel the need to go in, considering the price they were asking and the fact that we had been there before, many years ago. Did have a cup of coffee and a snack though.


Next stop was the Princess Royal Fortress, the National Anzac Memorial and Mount Clarence and Padre White Lookout.




Back to the caravan park, via Dog Rock, for nibbles and a drink.


For dinner, we headed across the road to the Curry Leaf Indian Restaurant. It was lovely - great food although service was very slow as they seem to be understaffed tonight. By the time we got back to the vans the wild weather was beginning – we were warned about it by the woman in reception who suggested we should not put our awnings.

A Little rain in the night but not enough to put out the bushfires in West Cape Howe National Park west of the city - people have been evacuated.
