Mount Melville is a hill in Albany offering a quieter alternative to Mount Clarence, with a focus on natural beauty and harbor views. The summit lookout provides stunning panoramas of Princess Royal Harbour and the surrounding islands. Walking trails wind through native vegetation, where visitors can spot local birdlife and wildflowers in season. The area is less developed, making it ideal for a peaceful stroll or picnic. Interpretive panels explain the significance of the harbour to the local Menang people and early European settlers.
