ANZAC Memorial - Albany

Three months after our epic New Zealand adventure, we got itchy feet and decided it was time to skip town for a few days. It was short notice, but we booked some accommodation and set off for Albany. Harry proved to us that he's quite capable of taking on a five hour road trip.



We were staying at Middleton Beach (above) in the shadow of Mt Adelaide. After getting settled we set off to have a look around town and pick up some supplies.



The afternoon was drawing to close so we decided to check out the ANZAC memorial on Mt Adelaide. We found lots of military things to see & do. There were big guns that still move.


  More gun turrets that moved a lot. Fun for young & old...




"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... BLAST OFF!!"


Lots more to see tomorrow.....

Footnote.
We realized just before bed that Harry had packed his favourite bears in his travel suitcase (that we use for air travel). The problem is that the suitcase was packed away, not packed in the car. We're the worst parents in the world..... We'll have to find a spare bear tomorrow.
