Many people believe its scenic beauty and wildlife far exceed the French Riviere des Fancaise after which it was named in 1803 by the French explorer, Nicholas Baudin.During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s the Albany served as a gateway to the Eastern Goldfields and for many years was Western Australia’s only deep water port, making it a place of importance for shipping services between the UK and its Australian colonies. The construction of Fremantle Harbour in 1893 saw its importance as a port decline. After which Albany industries turned primarily to agriculture and timber and, later, whaling and tourisum.

Use a clear milk bottle so you can see the milk, leave it at room tempreatare untill it is sour, when it starts to clear at the bottom and thicken at the top shake it up and you have naturaly soured milk, the more the better! Our Grandparents used this for Scones and Sour Dough as well. Dont sour with vinegar or lemon as the Damper wont rise. Good Luck.

The Whaling Station, which closed operations in 1979, has now been converted to a museum of whaling, and features one of the 'Cheynes' whale chasers that were used for whaling in Albany. The station was the last operating whaling station in the Southern Hemisphere at the time of closing.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Albany WA also has a number of historic tourist sites&nbsp;including the Museum, Albany Convict Gaol, The Princess Royal Fortress (commonly known as The Forts), Patrick Taylor Cottage, and ("is the oldest dwelling in Western Australia, c1832").

Most parts of the state form a low plateau with an average elevation of about 400 metres (1,200 ft), very low relief, and no surface runoff. This descends relatively sharply to the coastal plains, in some cases forming a sharp escarpment (as with the Darling Range/Darling Scarp near Perth ).WA.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>The extreme age of the landscape has meant that the soils are remarkably infertile and frequently laterised. Even soils derived from granitic bedrock contain an order of magnitude less available phosphorus and only half as much nitrogen as soils in comparable climates in other continents. Soils derived from extensive sand plains or ironstone are even less fertile, being even more devoid of soluble phosphate and also deficient in zinc copper, molybdenum and sometimes potassium and calcium.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>The infertility of most of the soils has required heavy inputs of chemical fertilisers, particularly superphosphate, insecticides and herbicides, which—with the ensuing damage to invertebrate and bacterial populations, and compaction of soils through heavy machinery and hoofed mammals—has done great damage to the fragile soils of WA.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Large-scale land clearing for agriculture and forestry has damaged habitats for native flora and fauna in WA. As a result, the South West region of the stateof WA, has a higher concentration of rare, threatened or endangered flora and fauna than many areas of Australia , making it one of the world's biodiversity "hot spots".

By the late 18th century, British and French sailors had begun to explore the WA coast.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>The origins of the present state of WA began with the establishment of a British settlement at King George Sound in 1826 (later named Albany from 1832). The settlement was founded in response to British concerns about the possibility of a French colony being established on the coast of WA.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>In 1829, Captain James Stirling established the Swan River Colony, on the Swan River, WA.

Perth was founded as the Swan River Colony in 1829 by British and Irish settlers, though the outpost languished, eventually requesting convict labour to augment its population. In the 1890s, interstate migration resulting from a mining boom in the Goldfields region resulted in a sharp population increase.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Western Australia did not receive significant flows of migrants from Britain , Ireland or elsewhere in the British Empire until the early 20th century when local projects.

Coal mined at Collie is the main fuel for baseload electricity generation in the state's south-west.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Agricultural production in WA is a major contributor to the state and national economy. Although tending to be highly seasonal, 2006-07 wheat production in WA was nearly 10 million tonnes, accounting for almost half the nation's total. and providing $1.7 billion in export income. Other significant farm output includes barley, peas, wool, lamb and beef. There is a high level of overseas demand for imports of live animals from WA, driven mainly by South East Asia 's feedlots and Middle Eastern countries, where cultural and religious traditions and a lack of storage and refrigeration facilitites favour live animals over imports of processed meat. Approximately 50% of Australia 's live cattle exports come from Western Australia .</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Resource sector growth in recent years has resulted in significant labour and skills shortages, leading to recent efforts by the state government to encourage interstate and overseas migration. According to the 2006 census, the median individual income was A$500 per week in WA (compared to A$466 in Australia as a whole). The median family income was A$1246 per week (compared to A$1171 for Australia ). Recent growth has also contributed to significant rises in average property values in 2006, although values plateaued in 2007. Perth property prices are still the second highest in Australia behind Sydney , and high rental prices continue to be a problem.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Located south of Perth, WA the heavy industrial area of Kwinana has the nation's largest oil refinery which produces petrol and diesel for local consumption, along with iron, alumina, and nickel processing plants, port facilities for grain exports, and support industries for mining and petroleum such as heavy and light engineering, and metal fabrication. Shipbuilding (eg Austal Ships) and associated support industries are found at nearby Henderson , just south of Fremantle , WA . Significant secondary industries include cement and building product manufacturing, flour milling, food processing, animal feed production, automotive body building, and printing.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>In recent years, tourism in WA has grown in importance, with significant numbers of visitors to the state coming from the UK and Ireland (28%), other European countries (14%) Singapore (16%), Japan (10%) and Malaysia (8%). Revenue from tourism is a strong economic driver in many of the smaller population centres outside of Perth , WA , especially in coastal locations.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>WA has a significant fishing industry. Products for local consumption and export include Western Rock Lobsters, prawns, crabs, shark and tuna, as well as pearl fishing in the Kimberley region of the state. Processing is conducted along the West Coast. Whaling was a key marine industry but ceased at Albany in 1978.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> </div> </div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-1 span-1"><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-8894d6e486f7c7d5ee1e"><div class="sqs-block-content">&nbsp;</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> </div> </section> <section id="government" class="Index-page" data-collection-id="64d213ca8ba3d16f2dfcf27f" data-parallax-id="64d213ca8ba3d16f2dfcf27f" data-edit-main-image="Background"> <div class="Index-page-content "> <div class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-type="page" data-updated-on="1691489259002" id="page-64d213ca8ba3d16f2dfcf27f"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-1 span-1"><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-9fdcd92e173e922bbc46"><div class="sqs-block-content">&nbsp;</div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-11 span-11"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-10 span-10"><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="&#123;&quot;topLeft&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;,&quot;topRight&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;,&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;,&quot;bottomRight&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;&#125;" id="block-47ad1d9cf4585dad231e"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Government of Western Australia</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>WA was granted self-government in 1889 with a bicameral Parliament located in Perth , WA .

WA was the most reluctant participant in the Commonwealth of Australia. WA did not participate in the earliest federation conference. Longer-term residents of Western Australia were generally opposed to federation; however, the discovery of gold brought many immigrants from other parts of Australia . It was these residents, primarily in Kalgoorlie WA but also in Albany who voted to join the Commonwealth, and the proposal of these areas being admitted separately under the name Auralia was considered.</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>In a referendum in April 1933, 68% of voters voted for the state to leave the Commonwealth of Australia with the aim of returning to the British Empire as an autonomous territory. The State Government sent a delegation to Westminster , but the British Government refused to intervene and therefore no action was taken to implement this decision.</strong></p> </div> </div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-1 span-1"><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-db4f17f572aa71c00ab0"><div class="sqs-block-content">&nbsp;</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> </div> </section> <section id="education" class="Index-page" data-collection-id="64d2143aaea6d95fbe76b0b5" data-parallax-id="64d2143aaea6d95fbe76b0b5" data-edit-main-image="Background"> <div class="Index-page-content "> <div class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-type="page" data-updated-on="1691489366494" id="page-64d2143aaea6d95fbe76b0b5"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-1 span-1"><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-97094f247970958d3e6f"><div class="sqs-block-content">&nbsp;</div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-11 span-11"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-10 span-10"><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="&#123;&quot;topLeft&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;,&quot;topRight&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;,&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;,&quot;bottomRight&quot;:&#123;&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0&#125;&#125;" id="block-bd7739cdbc0442b8025d"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Education in West Australia</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Education in WA consists of one year of pre-school at age 5, followed by seven years of primary school education.
