i'll be in denmark next week, that wont help you tho, i believe the KG whiting are biting, i'll be in for some flounder and flathead out of the inlet there too. in winter you can catch snapper of the side of the road near town. i've seen dugites down there, heaps of shinglebacks, but most people call them bob tails. Albany is one of my favorite towns in australia, enjoy.

I wasnt into herps so much when their, but I used to live in Albany for 5 years. Stunning part of the coast. Dont listen to urodacus, hes just another delusional city slicker .
Go for a walk along the Bibbullmun track and you will see herps. Ive seen adders and tigers and red bellied blacks along their. I found 5 or 6 per day inland along the track, but still saw 2 or 3 per day along the coast.
I never saw a python the whole time but their is a couple of relocators Ive spoken too since who maybe of assistance, friendly guys. Phone CALM for their numbers.
Plenty of roads around to go herping at night.
Enjoy.

Head over to Denmark, go to the Rivermouth caravan park and walk across the bridge that goes over the Denmark River. On the other side theres Rosenbergs, Dugites and Tigers. The rest will be like herping anywhere, road spot in good habitat and you could turn up anything.

oh yeah, forgot about a massive brown that i hit (not sure is it was already dead) when i was driving a 5ton truck between albany and esperance, I hit it with both wheels and i felt it bad in the cab, i'd have to say easily the biggest brown i'd ever seen, i've not ever seen a sw python down there either. some nice monitors around, not sure if they are that far south tho. earthing is right about the bibbullmun track, it is great.

Red bellies? :lol:

I hate the city with a passion, just so happens i hate the effects of inbreeding even more :lol: It is a nice part of the coast, just a pity about the wind and cold. On the few days where it wasnt blowing its guts out we caught some good snapper and skippy off the rocks.
