Albany was proclaimed a
city on the 1st July 1998 and now has a population of over
35,000.
A strikingly situated city, it has the distinction of
being the site of the first European settlement in Western
Australia. On Boxing Day 1826, Major Edmund Lockyer and a
party of soldiers and convicts from Sydney came ashore in
Princess Royal Harbour to establish a penal outpost.
The
Swan River Colony was not founded until 1829.
