Old gaol at Albany
Replica of the brig "Amity". WA's colonial history began with the arrival of Amity in 1826. It bought the first European settlers to Wa to establish a military post, from Sydney. The journey lasted 6 weeks & 2 days. On board was a Major, 19 soldiers, 23 convicts, a small staff & the ship's crew & supplies. The replica was built in the mid 70's to mark the 150 th anniversary of Albany's settlement. It was fascinating having a look around it, especially below decks, incredibly cramped.
