The climate here they tell me is the finest in the whole of Australia. Never too hot in the summer and never too cold in the winter. The winters are more wet than cold. When it rains it simply throws it down, but after the shower the sun comes out again. I don�t think there are many days even in winter when you don�t see the sun. After the rain the sun shines and everything looks fresh and lovely.

Medical, Pets & Transport
There is no free medical treatment here. It costs 15/- to see a doctor and you pay for medicine on top of that. So it pays to be healthy. If you are a hospital patient it is one Guinea (�1 1s 0d) a day, and you pay for the operation.

At night the air is filled with noises of frogs and crickets, and in the morning the sounds of the birds in the trees. There are lovely little robins, wagtails and �Kookaburras�, or laughing birds.

Some people have a pet lamb to keep the lawn tidy. They say it is cheaper than a lawn mower! Some have a kangaroo for a pet.

Most people own a vehicle of some sort. You very rarely see anyone walking.

There is a church here for every religion,  so everyone can settle down quite happily as long as they don�t crave for the city and its bright lights.
If you have your own home and your own car, then Albany is just the job!
