Kinjarling’s Killer Coast: A Self-Guided Drive Through Albany

About this tour

Drive yourself along Albany's dramatic southern coastline, tracing 45,000 years of Menang Noongar country and European settlement across 50 kilometres. This self-guided route takes 2–2.5 hours, weaving between granite cliffs, a restored colonial ship, wind turbines, and the remnants of Australia's whaling trade. Navigate at your own rhythm using offline GPS and audio commentary through the app.

Highlights

• Mount Clarence ANZAC memorial with panoramic coastal views
• Brig Amity: authentic 1826 replica ship you can board
• Eighteen wind turbines dominating The Sandpatch landscape
• The Gap's sheer granite walls and churning Southern Ocean
• Natural Bridge rock formation carved by relentless waves
• Whaling Station heritage buildings and industrial remnants

What to expect

You'll spend most time in your own vehicle, stopping at six major points to step out and explore on foot. The app directs you between each site with turn-by-turn navigation. At each stop, audio guides fill in the human and geological stories—from Noongar custodianship through European arrival to industrial exploitation. Some walks are short (five minutes); others give you space to linger at lookouts or wander museum grounds. Expect 20–30 minutes of actual walking spread across the full drive. Weather exposure is real: coastal wind, salt spray, and changeable conditions are part of the landscape here.

Good to know

Download the tour and maps before leaving town—mobile signal is patchy. Admission fees to sites like the whaling station are separate. Wear layers and bring water. The drive follows coastal roads with regular pullouts; no special vehicle needed. Best tackled mid-morning or early afternoon to avoid afternoon squalls.
