Albany Windfarm is situated right on the coastline with a wonderful view out over the bay and the southern ocean. From the visitor's car park and information bay, it is a short walk on an easy walking trail around the south-eastern portion of the windfarm. You can get some nice close up photos of a single windmill, or you can choose to seek out a higher vantage point of a wider panorama shot of the windfarm and some of the bay.
I struggled over rating this one. Whilst as a nightscape its good, I just couldn't get a great shot with some light pollution from a nearby correctional facility - and just the orientation of the windfarm, the bay, and where the galaxy sets. However, I'll definitely come back and see if I can do better as I suspect this location still has possibilities and that I'm not giving it a fair go.
