Albany Accommodation
Albany is a port city located some 418 km south east of Perth in the Great
Southern region of Western Australia. Albany is the 6th-largest city in
Weastern Australia by population. Albany city centre is located at the
northern edge of Princess Royal Harbour. Albany is the oldest permanently
settled town in Western Australia.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the town served as a gateway to
the Eastern Goldfields and, for many years, it was the colony's only
deep-water port, having a place of eminence on shipping services between
Britain and its Australian colonies.
Today Albany is a place of significance as a tourist destination and base from
which to explore the South-West of WA and is well regarded for its natural
beauty and preservation of heritage.
