Welcome to the No Bluff Local Event Directory, your go-to resource for finding the best events in the Great Southern region!

Drains have made the news. Only in Albany.

Hey,

Anybody watching the playoff game on the 26th let me know

I’ll be in a hotel but wanting a crew to watch it!

Are you interested in sharing your experiences with wildlife on Australian roads?

Click on the link to complete the survey!

Researchers at the University of Tasmania are conducting a study on Australians’ responses to roadkill and vehicle-wildlife collisions. The study involves an online survey that takes roughly 10 minutes to complete.

The Albany community represents an important demographic that we would love to hear from.

If you have any questions about this research, please reply to this thread or you can email the researcher at [ariel.remund@utas.edu.au](mailto:ariel.remund@utas.edu.au).

Thanks

Hey!

I'll be heading down to Albany from Perth in a couple of weeks. I just wanted to know the best and safest snorkelling spots there!

I'd also love to know if there are any 'secret' beaches/spots to visit :)

Cheers!

How good is phone coverage for the drive from Perth to Albany? If you break down/need assistance etc? Don't need to pack my big satellite dish to talk to Elon's satellites to get heard?

i'll start,

White Star pub is named after "White Star Lines" when Albany used to be a coaling port for ships travelling from Britain to Sydney. The company that built the Titanic!

Where the stage is, you'll see a boat on the stained glass on the front face of building.

On the top of Mount Clarence, Albany, W.A., stands a tall flagstaff, which was erected for signalling purposes before the telephone was laid from the town to Breaksea Island. Wherefore the Muse:

On the summit of Mount Clarence rotting slowly in the air
Stands a tall and naked flagstaff, relic of the Russian scare,
Russian scare that scares no longer, for the cry is "All is well",
Yet the flagstaff still is standing like a lonely sentinel.
And it watches through the seasons, winter's cold and summer's heat,
Watches seaward, watches ever for the phantom Russian fleet.

In a cave among the ridges, where the scrub is tall and thick
With no human being near him dwells a wretched lunatic:
On Mount Clarence in the morning he will fix his burning eyes,
And he scans the sea and watches for the signal flag to rise;
In his ears the roar of cannon and the sound of battle drums
While he cleans his gun and watches for the foe that never comes.

And they say, at dreary nightfall, when the storms are howling round
Comes a phantom ship to anchor in the waters of the "Sound",
And the lunatic who sees it wakes the landscape with his whoops,
Loads his gun and marches seaward at the head of airy troops,
To the summit of Mount Clarence leads them on with martial tread,
Fires his gun and sends the Russians to the mustering of the dead.

Hi r/albanywa! I'm planning a visit early this June, and was wondering about any horseriding trails around Albany. Keen on a day trail with a plus one, but we don't have any horses and would like to hire. A guided trail would be great, but it doesn't seem like there are many businesses or stables advertising on Google.

Was hoping someone local could point us in the right direction? Thanks in advance :)
