Thursday 11 March. Quiet start to the day. Visit to Princess Royal Fortress. This Fortress was the protector of the Western Sate with the use of two six inch guns placed in concealment, dug into the hillside of Mt Adelaide. It also overlooks the harbour where all the troop ships gathered prior to departing for Galipolli. It was later used as a US naval submarine base.

Our next stop was the ANZAC memorial atop Mt Clarance. This is also the location of a lookout point giving 360 degree views of Albany and surrounding areas. From Mt Clarance we moved to Emu Point which has the whitest sandy beach I have ever seen. Whilst there we meet up with a couple of Queenslanders on holiday from Mackay. After exchanging pleasantries for half an hour or so, we headed to the AGM site to listen to a fabulous musician, Gerry something, who had at one stage played with Santana. A great night then home for the evening.
