The Next Day...... Sorry we have lost track of the days and what happened when....

So here we are in Albany. This is a big town as it was the major port for all the gold miners coming from Europe on their way to Kalgoorlie looking for gold.

This is called "the Bridge" as it has been made naturally from millions of year of erosion. It was very cool.

 

 

The Bridge

Jess, Mum and Madi and if you look just past Jess's hand into the far distance that is the most southern point of Western Australia. We saw Hump back whales migrating from here.

 

Here in Albany they used to hunt whales until it was banned in 1978. We went the Whaling Museum which was an actual working Whale station. This is a Pygmy Blue whale (pictured) only 22metres long, yes a small one! But they hunted Sperm and Blue whales until they were extinct. It was sad to see, but good thats its now ceased.
