Albany, WA, MapAlbany, WA, WebsitesCity of Albany website Albany, WA, InformationAlbany is a port city located in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia, 390 km. (244 miles) south-east of Perth, the state capital. The city was founded in January 1827 as a military outpost of New South Wales as part of a plan to forestall French ambition in the region. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century's the town served as a gateway to the Eastern Goldfields and for many years was the colony's only deep water port, having a place of eminence on shipping services between Britain and its Australian colonies. Today the town of Albany has a place of significance as a tourist destination and base from which to explore the south west of the state and is well regarded for its natural beauty and preservation of heritage.
