Albany suburb profile

Albany is a coastal regional city in Western Australia’s Great Southern, set around the sheltered waters of King George Sound. It is known for dramatic granite headlands at Torndirrup National Park, a historic port and a popular foreshore with beaches such as Middleton Beach. The town centre mixes 19th-century buildings with cafes, galleries and local shops, while the wider area includes farmland, bushland and coastal villages. Residents range from families and tradespeople to retirees and people employed in tourism, agriculture and services. Outdoor life is a constant here, with fishing, whale watching and bushwalking on the doorstep, and a regional airport and port keeping the area connected.
