The Great Southern region, located only 4+ hours south-east of Perth City, covers an area of approximately 87,000 square kilometres and has a population of about 80,000 people.
The regional centre is the historic port town of Albany, which has one of the best natural anchorages in the southern hemisphere. Other centres include Denmark, a popular coastal holiday town, as well as the agricultural centres of Katanning and Mount Barker. The Great Southern is a burgeoning area of Western Australia, combining as it does a spectacular coastline that sweeps into quiet coves and protected inlets with a lush interior that has proved a perfect growth area for viticulture with a growing reputation in cool climate premium wine production. The oceans here provide food and protected waters for dolphins, seals and whales whilst the rural areas of the region have become a focus for lovers of gourmet foods.
Albany has a large range of shops, a cinema, lots of eateries, hotels and pubs. On a more cultural level there is an excellent town theatre for movies and stage shows and art galleries with regular exhibitions. Albany offers excellent sporting facilities, the Leisure and Aquatic Centre which consists of two heated pools.
