We are spending the next 4 nights in Albany at a B & B - using up some AsiaMiles points that were expiring.

King George Sound with a bit of sea mist. There are a few ships sitting in 'quarantine while waiting to load cargo. The 'inner harbour, Princess Royal Harbour, is to the right of the picture through Atatürk Channel.



Looking down York St in the town centre to Princess Royal Harbour



Anzac Peace Park is at the bottom of York St

Huonville, Tas.

Nothing special about the spot or place (actually taken from behind a cafe and art space). Just reminded me of the farm we used to own on the NW Coast a few years ago.

Spent every xmas holidays in Huonville as a lad. My relatives owned a large orchard there for over 50 years. Right on the river. Happy days.

Stunning sunset tonight.

 

[OZDUCK]

Still around Albany.

"Whaleworld" at the old Whaling Station in Frenchman Bay. I don't think that the real whales had the same expression on their faces when the whale chaser was so close. (All credit to Malcolm Fraser for making the hard decisions that led to the end of whaling in Australian waters.) I went to the Whaling Station on Customs work in 1974 but luckily it was during the 'off season' - it still reeked of whale oil however.



The walkway at 'The Gap'



Looking down from 40 metres above the water. Big brave 100kg ++ me took one step onto this bit and could go no further. My wife went to the edge and took lots of photos.





WIlson Inlet at Denmark - just over 50 km west of Albany. the river mouth is seasonally closed but was open today - with interesting results as the next photo will show



Anyone for a swim? This little pontoon bridge leads to a small sandy island in the inlet. I assume the sharks came in at high tide.

phalanx maybe?

a body of troops or police officers standing or moving in close formation.
"six hundred marchers set off, led by a phalanx of police"

a bone of the finger or toe.
