Albany is one of Western Australia's longest-established retirement destinations, sitting on the south coast at the mouth of Princess Royal Harbour. The town has an interesting split between a genuinely hilly historic town centre - steep enough to matter for scooter choice - and a long, flat foreshore along Middleton Beach and the harbour walk.
That split shapes what we recommend: a higher-torque 4-wheel scooter or a full-size power chair for anyone living up in the CBD or the older residential streets and a lighter travel scooter for people who mainly use the foreshore. If you tell us where you live and where you actually go, we'll match the model to it.
Because our closest full-service base is in Melbourne, all Great Southern work is a delivered, in-home service.
