We loved the town of Albany. But we did have one little drama shortly after we arrived... namely, Luke snapping off our internet modem and breaking it so we could no longer communicate with the outside world. Shock! Horror! What was to be done? Luckily Albany is quite a big regional town - about 25,000 call this seaside place 'home.' So that means if our computer's internet device was to break anywhere, Albany was a much better place for it to happen then say, Quorn (Population 56).
A trip to Telstra (who couldn't help us out because unfortunately warranty doesn't cover people breaking the USB stick right off. I know, we couldn't believe it either...), so we continued on to a little electronics guy who had TV's piled up around his ears. Bingo! $50 later and we had a pretty much brand-new internet connection device (if you looked past the glue and cracked cover and duct tape). Phew... No internet? That would have been as disastrous as a caravan park shower and no thongs. What a close call!
But mostly our stop over to Albany was spent at an amazing coffee house called Dome Cafe. This place is housed in the old Albany Primary School and is a cross between an American style diner that we loved in the US called Denny's, Gloria Jeans and a tiny backstreet coffee shop with all the latest magazines hanging around for you to read plus comfy leather lounges to snuggle into. We went back two days in a row.
