As Henry Lawson, who lived in the town for six months in 1890, put it:

'Albany will never change much - it is a pretty town, but vague. It seems to exist only in a far-away-on-the-horizon sort of way; I like it all the better for that.'

The Albany Region - is where the southern Ocean in all its powerful beauty crashes against our stunning coastlines with its dramatic cliffs and rock formations.
