I used to live in Albany up until June 2006, we left to come to Qld because of a business venture. Wish we had never left this beautiful city, perhaps one day we will return. Heard recently via a friend that the lovely Esplanade Hotel was demolished.....to replace it with another hotel, so what was the point in demolishing a legacy left by Paul Terry, talk about burying him and his memory after all he did for the place.

@R00RAL I still have the same view, but I left. I've been living in Perth since July 2009. I've stumbled upon a lucrative work opportunity that wouldn't have arisen in Albany. I haven't visited since Christmas 2009 either. That's how easy it is to forget about a place that's so hesitant to move forward.

@LynneCarol2008 I believe the new owner wanted more stories to make it a more profitable business venture & attract more people, the council & then the bank soon put a stop to that.. so demolished to this day it stays.

@tuskfish AGREE

@ErebusBenighted what are your thoughts now 3 years later, are you still living in Albany?
-
@tuskfish Have to agree unfortunately, I am beside myself with how & what they are doing to this "city"

Golliwogg is considering visiting Albany on his World Tour, and is looking for new fans in the area.

This brings back lovely memories of a great holiday .We miss the people and their kindness the sea and the sand. One day, if we are lucky we will return to A lbany.

i LIKE the music. it made the place look mysterious and peaceful, not a den of foolish din. i grew up and live in LAS VEGAS, nevada, usa, which is 35 degrees north latitude, and 115 degrees west longitude. i typed in the OPPOSITE in google maps, and Albany, australia is the closest! i may move out there one day :) i love opposites

Great photos but the music reminds me of a sad WWII movie.

Great Video effort
Terrible Music
Amp it up with something more befitting the city it the music makes it sound like the place operates in slow motion

Albany does tend to operate in slow motion though..... too many conservatives and retiree's. Cheers and thanks for the advice.

Albany certainly is the place to live but enjoy the foreshore views before our town council stuffs it up with some monstrosity and miss management.

You ought to check out what the foreshore looked like in the 1920s through to 1950s. It was industrial, messy and cluttered with tine sheds / shacks, etc. The irony is that the foreshore development taking place today - is really replacing some of that clutter (e.g. the bridge over the railway line, etc).

Well as a young 22yo local who has at least 60yrs left in the city of Albany I think it's a good thing and I'm all for it. As opposed to people who only have >20 years left who want it stopped. People my age need to raise a family there and all the oldies wanna do is walk around and look at things the way they remember it. I think get over it and let it grow so we can get sunday trading. And anyway ...the forshore isn't exactly picturesque. It's a dark, dull view that a dead cow would enhance.

Hey - I'm with you! As a 42yo business professional (& almost local), I want to see development take place in Albany to move the city into the 21st Century. When complete the Entertainment center will be too small anyway, there wont be enough room for parking, and there'll be a lot of issues with industrial traffic to the port. It's a shame all development in Albany couldn't have been thought out better planned or thought out with a future vision rather than cutting corners.
