The Gap & Natural Bridge

Location: via Frenchman Bay Road, Albany, 6330
Coordinate: S35°07.0798′ E117°53.5925′

We continue our journey this morning from Albany Wind Farm. At the entrace, there is a sign board welcoming its visitors. Turn left to view the spectacular GAP, and turn right to see the amazing NATURAL BRIDGE.

Following the path will lead one to safety-rails to view these great rock formation. Do ensure take care of small kid especially, as it is high cliff and could be dangerous especially raining day. As I'm having phobia of high places, I did really take extra careful when capturing photos over here. But nonetheless, this is really a beautiful place to visit and to enjoy.

The Natural Bridge is a huge piece of granite which huge seas have eroded over the centuries to produce this fantastic arch. One could also see the wave rushing in and hitting the rocks, making the wave splashed. As the wind keep blowing, we did feels the cold over here, but enjoying it under the clear sky. The weather has be on our side thus far.

The GAP is about 24-metre drop to the sea. From here, one can see the waves rush in and out with tremendous ferocity, and watch the waves surge along the sheer cliff drop. If one spending more time over here, one could sometime see the wave hitting the cliff and splash highly.

From here, one can keep an eye out for whales which are often seen from the cliffs, especially during winter. Since it was end of winter, we still do hope that we could spot whale over here. We were still happy even though we didn't see any today. Just remember to bring binocular while visiting Albany in future as there are lot of surprises to view from afar.

While we were enjoying the view over here, we could feels the power of Mother Nature. The rock formation, the ferocity waves hitting the rock, the strong winds keep blowing to our face really make our day.
