Albany

4,308 km²

A larger-than-average First Nations population marks the character of Albany. This regional hub in Western Australia blends a diverse community with a landscape that is only somewhat walkable. While the area provides a home for 1,476 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, many residents live in spots where daily essentials are further away than in typical WA towns. It is a place where nature and wide spaces often take priority over dense urban convenience.
