Day24 - Monday 25/10/10 - Weather, Overcast and clearing to 23 deg

Leave Margaret River at 7.00am and head for Albany first stop Pemberton for breakfast and fuel, looked at the Gloucester Tree which has spikes driven into it which are used to climb it to a platform where people used to spot bush fires.
The country side was heavily wooded with huge Karri trees, these are extremely straight and very tall and close to the road. The area is old country style and the soil has changed from red to dark brown.
We got to Albany at 1.30pm and found the Emu Point Motel and Apartments which were old but clean and neat, they were situated a long way from the city centre and there were no shops open for dinner so the group got maxi taxis to a local restaurant.
After checking in we decided to see the sights such as the Whale Station and went on the tour, then wound our way back around the bay into town.
Total Klm's 9,976
