Monday 15 March. Visit to the Brig Amity (Sailing Ship) the first ship to bring settlers to Albany. Designed to take a crew of about eight with stores, It arrived in what is now called Albany, with 61 people on board, live stock and produce and tools to start building a township. Not my idea of a fun journey. We then ventured out to the Salmon Holes, Natural Bridge and the Gap. What fabulous scenery. Back in towards the wind farm to view the fire devistation caused by the motorcycle accident. Further info at hand: The rider crashed trying to avoid one of the locals that had HOPPED out in front of him, good old skippy. On into town for lunch at the Strawberry Farm, the first farm in the area.

The afternoon was spent walking town and doing some window shopping. A few small purchases were made, then home for a Nanna/Grampa nap befor dinner.
