Tuesday, 28 October – Denmark

It was a very short drive to another pretty campground beside the Denmark River. We spent the afternoon looking around town before we ended accidentally ended up at a coffee stop.

Next day was a tourist trip to Albany where we visited Whaleworld which is located on the site of Australia’s last whaling station.

During our last day at Denmark we sampled the food and drink side of things. We visited makers of chocolate, cheese, ice cream and mead.

Albany and the surrounding towns are totally booked out for the weekend due to the centenary celebrations in Albany. The big event celebrates the departure on the troop ships to Gallipoli 100 years ago. Albany has a population of about 35,000 which is expected to swell to up to 80,000 over the weekend.

We decided Albany was going to be very crowded and it would be difficult to see many of the activities because they were sold out long ago. So we chose to move on and get away from the crowd.
