Albany W.A. TuesdayRather uninspiring drive from Esperance and for some reason we both felt rather tired so when we got settled on the site we dashed off to the shop for something for tea and that was us for the night..This morning the weather was overcast with light rain and we decided Whale World was the best option.Whale WorldAbout a 20 min. drive from Albany with one or two things to see on the way which we thought we would do on the way back but as it happe...

It has been overcast most of the day and the temperature has dropped from 44 ...
