An historical account of my birthplace, and the first settlement in Western Australia, first named Frederickstown, and later Albany (pronouced Al-ben-ee, not All-ben-ee). Plenty of detail, and would be of interest to those familar with the town, as well as those interested in the events that shaped the relationship between Perth (later to be the capital) and Albany.
