Albany Wind Farm is Western Power's first large grid-connected Windfarm site. It consists of twelve of the largest wind turbines in the Southern Hemisphere and supplies the equivalent of 17,000 average WA homes with wind-generated electricity. 

Each blade is 35 metres in length and the height of each tower is a whopping 65 metres! The days where the wind is not strong enough to turn the blades are minimal so you will most likely see them in action whenever you visit.

There are wonderful boardwalks which will take you past the turbines if you are up for a great walk or along the coastline if all you would like is a short stroll. The views are spectacular, no matter what you choose - simply not to be missed.
