Albany, Australia


After we left Perth, continuing on our 30 day journey on the Dawn Princess around Australia, we headed south.The further south we traveled, the colder and windier it became. Upon docking in Albany, the first thing you notice are large piles of wood chips. There is a tremendous export business of wood chips to Japan.

I've never really thought of visiting and exploring Australia. Perhaps I should.
