Overview

Torbay sits 20 km west of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, a small town gazetted in 1910 and part of the City of Albany. Nestled on the eastern fringe of the karri forest, the area features remnant tall trees, striking granite outcrops and fine‑white‑sand beaches such as Cosy Corner, Perkins and Muttonbird, making it popular for family picnics, camping and seasonal swimming lessons. The nearby Bibbulmun Track weaves along the coastal cliffs and dunes, offering easy access for hikers and four‑wheel‑drive explorers.

Local life is supported by a blend of agricultural and coastal housing, ranging from rural acreage used for dairy, beef, plantation forestry and the region’s major seed‑potato production to homes close to the bay’s fishing and tourism hubs. Children travel by school bus to Albany’s schools, while the independent Woodbury Boston Primary School provides a local option. Although the historic rail line closed in 1957, road links to Albany and surrounding towns keep the community well connected for work and recreation.
