Old Farm Strawberry Hill
The Old Farm, Strawberry Hill was considered old more than 100 years ago. It was given the name “The Old Farm” in recognition of being the oldest farm in Western Australia, established even before the Swan River Colony.
A Government Farm was created at Strawberry Hill in 1827. In 1833, Sir Richard Spencer was appointed Government Resident at Albany and then purchased the Farm. By 1836 the well established gardens were producing blood oranges, grapes, raspberries, gooseberries, asparagus, figs and almonds.
After an ongoing cycle of neglect and restoration the property was purchased by the Government in 1956 as a historic monument. Transferred to the National Trust in 1964, the house and garden have been restored to appropriately reflect their significance.
Albany Fort
Albany has a proud military history and was one of the last places seen by many of the brave Anzacs who went off to fight in WWI. The fort, Mount Clarence and the Anzac Peace Park all celebrate this history as well as giving the visitor excellent views over the stunning King George Sound.
Whale World
The site of the last whaling station in Australia (closed in the 1970’s) brings together the past with the present day with fully immersive state of the art technology recreating the dramatic sounds and images of the old whaling station. See the spectacular skeleton exhibit boasting the state’s largest Pygmy Blue whale skeleton, create your own adventure with the freedom to explore an actual whaling ship, and stand on the actual flensing deck and watch as actual cookers spin into action.
