Today is a different day from yesterday. We were greeted with not a cloud in the sky and no wind to speak of. It was bright and cool. I think the bridge and the gap would not be as impressive in these conditions.
The first item was to attend the Farmers' Market. This was as a produce market should be. Only bona fide primary producers are permitted to attend. To participate, they must be local and must only offer their own produce. There was red meat, white meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, honey, herbs, dairy products, a bakery and a coffee place. Although small in the number of outlets, it was very popular with the people of Albany.
We chased down a couple of galleries, but they did not satisfy.
Later in the day we travelled out of town to take in some other places of interest. The first was Little Beach in Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve. This pretty little beach is noted for having the bluest water. It did not disappoint.
We then wanted to visit Nanarup Beach close to the Gull Rock National Park. On the way we saw a bird park and marron farm which incorporated a restaurant offering marron, a freshwater lobster. Adrienne had wanted to taste marron since hearing of them over here. She dined on a plate of a marron and yabbies. The yabbies are bigger than we normally see in the North. I supped on Chicken Chilli on Turkish. Both very nice.
Nanarup Beach was next on the list. It was beautiful but different from Little Beach. There were plenty of 4 wheel drives on the beach and fishermen feeding potential prey in the Southern Ocean. A family including young children were preparing to do some boogie board surfing.
Thus came to an end a restful day before we depart tomorrow, ANZAC Day, for Hopetoun.
