This is the Albany Highway ^ and nice it may look, soon gets a bit boring after about 100km and we were on it for 400. The road kill is different here, whereas back home you’ll get the odd hedgehog or maybe even a squirrel, down here its kangaroos, I was quite excited to see my first kangaroo I didn’t expect it to be a dead one, in fact I haven’t seen any live ones yet.

We reached Albany just before it was getting dark so by the time we got checked in to the hostel and moved our bags in the sun was going down and we had a look around. My first impressions of the town were good and were heightened after the pizza. We played some pool then back at the hostel for a bit then saw a listings sheet for the local cinema that was showing Transformers! This was a no-brainer so set off. The cinema didn’t look anything special, from the outside it looked like a fairly standard small town cinema and the foyer was only big enough for the sales desk thing, some sweet shelves and a small queue but the actual screen was actually quite big fair play so I was pleasantly surprised. Transformers is awesome by the way!

The Australians seem to like their films though, they’re very vocal when watching them, there were a lot of ‘yay’s and ‘boo’s at the appropriate parts which I found quite funny, back home people are usually quite quiet until there’s a funny bit worth laughing at.
