6th January

Today, Chrissi had to head back to Wagin around lunch time so we arranged an easy morning visiting the convict goal and the replica of the Brig Amity, this was the ship that arrived in Albany in 1826, bringing the first party of military & convicts to establish the first colony in the west.

Below decks for "passengers"

Bunks for "passengers"


Crew Accommodation

The below decks part was good, Cilla & girls are sitting on a bench where a couple of hammocks are slung for crew, the rest of that part of below decks is for wooden bunks. Note the lack of head room in this section.
The last photo is one of the crew cabins, not a lot of room, but at least they could stand up straight.

Once we had finished this, Chrissi headed off to Wagin. Cilla and I wandered through town for a while, both had a haircut and after a nice lunch returned to the resort.
After a short break we finished the day with a casual stroll down the beach at the end of the resort
