A day trip through picturesque farm country to the historic port of Albany including an optional cruise and coastal sightseeing.

Travelling south we leave the city limits through Armadale to ascend the Darling Range with views over native Jarrah forests. Journeying on through typical West Australian sheep and wheat farming country we pass through Kojonup township with scenic views of the Stirling Ranges en route. Travelling on via Mount Barker we reach the historic port of Albany, Western Australia's first European settlement. Here you have free time for a cafe lunch (own expense) and wander through the town centre featuring pioneer era architecture and quaint little shops.

We then take in some coastal sightseeing visiting the renowned landforms The Gap and Natural Bridge both formed by the relentless surf of the rugged Great Southern Ocean. This afternoon visit to Whale World and enjoy a guided tour through their whaling museum, followed by a visit to the regional Wind Farm. Returning to Albany we head up to Mount Clarence for panoramic views over Albany and King George Sound waterway before a drive by Middleton Beach. En route home we stop at Mt Romance Emu Oil Cosmetic Factory for a guided tour of the factory and a browse through their gift shop. Continuing home, we break at Kojonup  to purchase a light dinner (own expense), before arriving back in Perth at approximately 10.30 pm

Note: Free time is given in Albany to purchase your own lunch
