Day 74 , Tuesday 24 August
Up early to visit the National ANZAC Centre. A simple but moving place that contextualises the WWI experience of the ANZACs who departed Albany on the 1st and 2nd convoys to WWI. Of the over 40,000 who did, for a third of the it (Albany) was there last ever sight of Australia. Their stories are told very well and it is a moving experience to visit the Centre.
It was then on through rich dairy lands, then the stunning Stirling Ranges and endless fields of Canola to Esperance. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the great southern region , the various language groups of the Noongar Nation, and pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging.
