Jman888 Moderator May 4, 2011 Share May 4, 2011 Hi all..... i will be touring Perth this coming June, basically following the route that many has covered in this thread. One question - we will be going straight from Perth to Albany via Albany Highway (highway no. 30), any interesting place to stop over along the highway or it is nothing at all (like NSHW)? we will be staying at Lily Dutch Windmill on the first night then proceed to Albany town for 2nd night.

Beanoyip Turbocharged May 4, 2011 Share May 4, 2011 If i remember rightly, there's nothing much to see if you take the highway direct to Albany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acewin 4th Gear May 4, 2011 Share May 4, 2011 The journey from Perth to Albany one way about 408KM if I remember correctly. I guess the nearest attraction is Mt Baker. I try to search my past itenery see where I visited along the way. Basically I took the route from Perth - Burnbery - margaret River - Permberton - Wadpole - Denmark - Albany- Perth.

Jman888 Moderator May 4, 2011 Share May 4, 2011 If from Perth to Albany direct I remember somewhere in between this Bridgetown. Thanks for the input. i am doing the other way round...

Karu 6th Gear February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 (edited) Planning another trip to WA / Perth this Jun. My 4th one. Will be there for 8 days, this time with another family. There's 4 adults, 5 kids & 1 infant. Planning to chill out there. Meaning visit 1 place a day, eat, drink & sleep like the Aussies... First of all any reasonable holiday home / apartment in or around Perth big enough to house us?? Need at least 3 rooms. Otherwise, we'll have to opt for 2 units?

Karu 6th Gear March 27, 2012 Share March 27, 2012 Got the accommodation settled. Now looking for car rental. Pick up & drop off at air port. Any suggestions other than the usual companies?

Karu 6th Gear June 21, 2012 Share June 21, 2012 Back from hols in perth... 9 days just zoomed by. Rented from Avis at AUD$800 for 8 days including excess reduction & baby seat rental. Opted for I45 but they gave me a 3.5L V6 Holden SV6. Lots of pull but engine is not very refined. Huge boot space!! Overall nothing to complain about. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
