Dog Rock, Albany, Australia

Albany
The oldest permanently settled town in WA, before Perth and Fremantle, Albany is a characterful and historic town on the south coast. It was the first deep-water port on the south coast and was the departure point for many ANZACs who went to Europe to fight in World War One. The city boasts some beautiful old architecture, a dog-shaped rock, spectacular Middleton Beach and even an old whaling station, now a museum. It is also the home of the HMAS Perth wreck that was deliberately sunk as a recreational dive site in King George Sound.
