The National ANZAC Centre was constructed on the site in 2014. The centre concentrates on providing a history of the site as an assembly point for the convoys to the Middle East during World War 1 and tries to give a glimpse of the troops' fortunes during the war. The visitor is given a card identifying a particular soldier which can then be used to follow that soldier's journey through the war. This technique is very effective and provides a moving experience. The rest of the site outside the centre also has many interesting exhibits and first class views of the sound and the bay. The site has a small shop and tearooms for visitors, a function centre and a covered area with barbecues and tables. Half a day could easily be spent here.
Grasmere Wind Farm
Worth a visit even if you are not into windmills. Twelve 1800 kW wind turbines supply a large percentage of Albany's electrical requirements. The Wind Farm is open every day of the year. There is a large car-parking area, extensive network of boardwalks with views over the southern ocean. There is artwork and information panels containing profound statements as you admire the view. The Bibbulmum Track passes through the area, and there is a staircase down the cliff to the ocean.
