First Impressions is a unique opportunity to view the early years of Albany, on Australia’s south-west coast, through the writings of travelers, migrants, naturalists, seamen and royalty, including Charles Darwin, Matthew Flinders, Anthony Trollope, Sister Mary MacKillop, Henry Lawson, Herbert Hoover and Mark Twain.
First Impressions helps place Albany in an international as well as a national context, and is sure to appeal to many Australian and international visitors to Albany and to its residents as a memento of the place and as a cultural tribute to an historic port.
