Families flocked to Albany to celebrate WA Day on Monday, enjoying a perfect end to a long weekend with a free fun day at the WA Museum of the Great Southern.
A colourful cast of diverse community characters at the museum provided free, fun-filled entertainment for visitors of all ages.
The Brig Amity was free to board all day, with volunteers on board to tell the tales of the ship to visitors, and the museum‘s discovery centre also opened free of charge.
Stalls covered the precinct with lawn games, face painting, Menang toolmaking, messy play for children, environmental education, and arts and crafts throughout the day.
Albany volunteer firefighters brought out all the gear, inviting visitors to climb up into the fire engine and don a yellow fire jacket and helmet.
Vintage cars, similar to those seen racing around Albany’s town centre on Sunday in the iconic Albany Classic motorsport event, were lined up for visitors to admire.
Live performances provided a soundtrack to the day’s fun, with the Mt Lockyer Primary School Choir and the Bird on a Wire Choir taking to the stage, as well as a host of local acts.
