On
Your
Bike!
CYCLING ROUTES proliferate around Albany so
if you haven’t brought your own treadly, hire one
and take off.
Albany’s weather is perfect year round for cycling, so
plan ahead, throw a few things in a bag (sunscreen,
water, mobile phone, snack) and get going. Bikes
can be hired from various outlets in Albany (check
with the Visitor Centre) including spots along the
foreshore and at Middleton Beach in summer.
Grab a Go Cycle amazingalbany map from the
Albany Visitor Centre and remember to take safety
precautions, wear a helmet and look out for vehicle
movements, especially if you have children with
you. Identified cycle routes include: the Wind Trail
(30km); Wales to Whales (60km); Wildflower Trail
(60km) and the Go Taste Trail (75km).
If a leisurely run along a beach trail is more your
thing, then cycle to breakfast at Middleton Beach,
work off those calories with a stroll along the
shoreline and jump in for a quick splash.
Thrill seekers need look no further than
the Mount Clarence Downhill, a 700 metre long
purpose-built downhill track right in the centre of
Albany with breathtaking views over King George
Sound. Starting near the carpark on Apex Drive
on Mount Clarence, the track drops 70 vertical
metres and features trees, rock gardens, boulders
and obstacles including jumps and drops, before
opening out to a fire road near Hare Street. Excellent
mobile reception means you can download the free
track app for more information.
Munda Biddi Trail
If you’re up for an off-road adventure of longer
duration, plan a cycling trip on the Munda Biddi trail,
a long distance cycle trail for all experience levels
that is fast gaining international recognition. Find
maps and details of camp-sites and cycle friendly
businesses to rely upon at www.mundabiddi.org.au
Experienced cyclists take the Munda Biddi trail as
a whole from Perth to Albany (1000kms), but there
are plenty of short runs for families and groups who
want to take life at a more leisurely pace. Vehicle
access points along the trail allow you to design
a bespoke ride through magnificent scenery that
takes in gentle grades for most of its duration.

CYCLING
Bike paths take you to some of Albany’s most
breathtaking sites including beaches, harbours,
and into native bush land. Take in the harbour and
wildflower hotspots via winding paths and tracks
and past spectacular coastal scenery. When you’ve
reached the end of your ride, refresh with a swim

Then plan a lazy afternoon mooching around
on your bike discovering Albany’s quirky cafes,
superlative galleries and avant-garde retail scene.
Unearth bookstores, smart boutiques and dreamy
coffee houses. It’s all do-able from the comfort
of your saddle. Albany is a traffic-light-free zone
(cheer!), but the city’s many roundabouts require
common sense if you’re on two wheels. Give way
to the right, use your signals and be prepared for
heavy vehicles and trucks. Always wear a helmet
and use a bell, and remember lights for night riding.

A walk among the

underestimated. Just west of Denmark,
the Treetop Walk is 600 metres of gentle
gradient 40 metres above the tingle forest.
On your drive back to Albany, squeeze

at Green’s Pool and call in at Denmark’s
famous bakery for moreish pastries.
The Denmark winery trail will astonish,
with fabulous cellar doors and premium
restaurants. Visit Albany in March as part of
Taste Great Southern Festival for celebrity
chef events, culinary conversations, foodie
workshops, cooking classes and a spot of
epicurean tourism. Or do the self-sufficient
thing and fish the inlets, camp at one of the
many nature reserves or national parks and
hike through Spring wildflowers.
Mt Lindesay National Park, just north of
Denmark, offers an incredible walk trail
winding through wildflowers and rock
formations and offering sensational water

Kick back over world-class local produce at
restaurants celebrating the provenance of sourced
ingredients. Chances are you’ll meet the chef who
also might just happen to be the owner of the
establishment you are dining at. Produce will have
been delivered that day (while you’re there if you’re
lucky) and you’ll probably be eating it within hours
of its harvest.
Dine at a cellar door and you’re just as likely to meet
the very person who tends the vegetable garden
supplying the superbly fresh delights on your plate.
Or hire a private chef to do your work for you. Don’t
be surprised to find they hail from a fishing family
who hauled in your dinner in the wee hours of the
morning.
You get more than you bargain for in Albany. Local
foodies are renowned for sharing their knowledge,
so when you happen upon one, mine them for
information. Get talking and you’ll soon be in on the
local lore about what grew where, the ingredient
provenance and the growing season of the fruit
used to produce your chosen wine.
Discover local
produce on sale
at farm gates
in and around
Albany. Take
home moreish
delights
including
honey, berries,
asparagus, fruit,
vegetables,
eggs and olive
oil.
Stellar Cellars
Producing internationally
recognised wine of excellence comes naturally in the Great
Southern wine region, of which Albany is a sub-region. So
identify your skipper and plan your foray around Albany’s
celebrated cellar doors. Taste outstanding varietal styles
including: shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir,
riesling, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. Producing 37%
of wine grapes in Western Australia, the region boasts
cellar doors galore, but plan ahead as seasonal opening
times can vary. And don’t forget your spirit – or should
we say spirits. A visit to Albany’s internationally acclaimed
artisanal spirits distillery - for a quaff of single malt is one
for the bucket list.
Forget the packed lunch. Albany’s incredible
food scene will see you wave goodbye to DIY
meals as you re-past and re-create your way
around the region following the Go Taste

THERE’S A REASON Albany’s gourmet providores,
organic food producers, farmers’ markets and dining
outlets are stacking up all the food awards’silverware
– and it’s got nothing to do with MasterChef. What
reason, you ask? Well, there are many, and they go
like this. Sharp, clean air blasting straight from the
Southern Ocean. Produce so fresh you can count
the minutes since it was harvested. Devotion to
sustainable agricultural methods. Commitment to
time-honoured cooking techniques passed down
through generations. A strictly seasonal approach
to dining room menus. The list goes on and so does
Albany’s food scene, brimming with product so
fresh it begs to be devoured, now.
Albany: Real
people, real
food, real
experiences.
Taste Great
Southern is a
festive celebration
of the region
