 Much of Albany coastline consists of soaring and smooth granite cliffs which plunge straight into the sea. |
 Occasionally there are jagged and eroded limestone strata. |
 Note the rounded granite boulders on the bottom left of the cliff, with the limestone overlaying. |
 The view in the other direction is towards Seal Island and the Vancouver Peninsula. |
 Approaching Limestone Head |
 The limestone erodes into interesting features such as small caves and this undercut cliff. |
 At the base of Isthmus Hill |
 A climb to the top of Isthmus Hill gives a rewarding view towards Bald Head, with a long wave cut platform and big surf at the base of the limestone - not for landing! |
 The other direction from Isthmus Hill: view towards Salmon Holes |
 Ex whale catcher in Princess Royal Harbour |
 Albany and harbour backdrop |
 Variety of shipping in the harbour: the Europa, cruise liner and the Jin Niu Ling (wheat carrier?) with tug Elgin |
