    Fantastic experience, stunning views and free!
    We absolutely loved this place, went on a windy day which certainly helps create an atmosphere, the sound of the huge turbines thumping around above is wonderful, entry is completely free and there was hardly anyone about. There's verious paths you can take (some long some short) that snake between the turbines so it's great for family or those keen on walking, there's glorious views over the Great Australian Bight. We spotted a sign pointing you in the direction of The Bibbulmun Track which is one of the great long distance walk trails, apparently it goes from Kalamunda up near Perth ending down here in Albany, we couldn't do the walk from where we were though as we were with family but otherwise it would have been stunning given the views. Plenty of parking and there's various information boards dotted about and toilet facilities.

    Worth the visit!
    We really enjoyed this walk! Never walked this close to the turbines so was interesting! My husband does have mobility issues so we're a bit limited with our walks these days. The wind farm walk was a little tough for him but manageable. Lookout 1 & 2 were pretty steep but sealed. The views were worth it though. For most without mobility issues, you should be fine! There are a few steps at the start & towards the end. Some beautiful birds & flowers to look at on the walk. The toilets could have been looked after a bit better, I opted to just hold it until we went back to Albany as I just couldn't... Overall, worth checking it out as only a short drive (about 15 mins) from the centre of Albany.

    Good sunset spot
    Easy little walk up to 2x lookouts for sunset or a level walk underneath one of them. Take a jumper, it's windy!! Lots of parking available and toilets too. Pretty cool to see the size of the wind farm and how much energy it generates.

Best wind farm as we got to walk right under the turbines. Gorgeous views, great information and got some photos next to turbine.

Great place to visit. Beautiful view on the wind turbines and of the coast. Many steps to go down to Sandpatch beach but the view is worth it. Can be very quiet

We really enjoyed visiting the wind farm. The wind turbines are absolutely gigantic and incredible to observe. Children loved getting up close to one. The views are also amazing. Toilet facilities available too. Options for varying lengths of walks also.

YOU MUST COME HERE FOR SUNSET! Striking, expansive views of the Indian Ocean and on a clear day, picture perfect spot for sunset. The windmills are an interesting sight to behold as well… there’s a well maintained boardwalk too. I almost didn’t come but am so glad I did as I was blown away by how impressive the view was. One of the best sunsets I’ve witnessed. If you’re in Albany, a must visit!

Good walk around the farm, toilet facilities there too. Worth a drive up there if you’re doing the gap.
