Albany Who's Who

Probably the most scary thing that can happen to your MAC or Windows computer is if it fails to turn on. You press the power button and nothing! No beeps, no clicks, no fan. The light on the monitor is on, but your computer is completely dead.
First of all, take a deep breath and don't panic! If there's one thing we've learned, panic doesn't help! At this stage all we know is that there is no power. Your documents, photos and music are probably safe, just not accessible at the moment. This computer problem shows that one of the hardware components have failed. Faulty Batteries, RAM sticks, hard drives, buttons, power supply, broken screen can all be causes of this issue. We'll help figure out which one it is.

Distinguished and Famous people from Albany
Albany's stories include Menang leadership during the early colonial period and writers whose work reaches far beyond the Great Southern. These connections involve local relationships, residence and formative years.
🧭 Mokare
Mokare was a Menang man whose knowledge and relationships were important in the early years of the colonial settlement at Albany. He acted as a guide and intermediary between his people and newcomers, including surgeon and explorer Alexander Collie. His story is part of Albany's history of contact between distinct societies, rather than simply a footnote to European exploration. Mokare died in 1831, but his role remains recognised in the city's heritage records and museum interpretation.
📚 Dianne Wolfer
Albany-based author Dianne Wolfer writes across children's fiction and historical storytelling. Her illustrated book Lighthouse Girl follows a young girl's experience around the departure of the Australian troop convoy from Albany in 1914; Light Horse Boy is a companion volume. Her writing also explores animals' perspectives, an interest she pursued through doctoral research. The local harbour's wartime history thus becomes a human-scale story for younger readers, rather than a procession of ships and dates.
📚 Tim Winton
Tim Winton lived in Albany for three formative years and has described its lasting influence. His novels include Shallows, a Miles Franklin Award winner about whaling and divided loyalties in the fictional town of Angelus. He later won the award again for Cloudstreet, Dirt Music and Breath. Across that work, Western Australian landscapes and communities have supplied settings for stories whose reach is international.
