The albany Anzac centenary celebrations started yesterday to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the departure of the first fleet of ships from albany to the battlefields of WW1 in 1914. Around 30,000 troops set sail from the harbour here. There are a lot of events in town and today we enjoyed the little markets, food stalls (we got killer bratwurst dogs) and the sunset ceremony at the peace park on the harbour. Apparently about 60,000 tourists have come to enjoy the events which puts us at about 100,000 people in town overall! It's a tad crowded! At 38 weeks pregnant today I definitely found it challenging to waddle around out there :)
