"Busselton is a city on the southwest tip of Western Australia. 225 km from Perth or a 2,5h drive ( make it 3h if you like your coffee stops like me. ) It's known for its sheltered beach and seasonal humpback whale populations. The beachfront features the 19th-century Busselton Jetty. This wood pier stretches 1,8 km to the Underwater Observatory, where life in a coral reef is on view and where you can spot dolphins if you are lucky. 🫶
1. Walk the 1,8km Jetty. Lazy people can also take the Stocker Preston Express train for an additional fee. Stingy people can walk the jetty free after hours.
.
2. Visit the underwater observatory at the end of the jetty and admire a variation of marine species without getting wet.
.
3. The more adventurous people can go scuba diving, diving or walk under water. YES you can walk under water without having previous experience.
.
.
( NOTE: Unfortunately not possible in the season 2023 - 2024 due to the development of the Busselton Jetty but hey! no panic, now you have a reason to go back. )
Enjoy !
Have fun "

"You will reach the beautiful city of Busselton as you make your way along the coast to the Margaret River region. Busselton and Dunsborough could have its own mini-guide, however it makes an great day trip if you want to incorporate it into a bigger plan.
Roughly 40 minutes from Margaret River, you may stop on your way down or make the drive back up for a day trip full of things to see and do. 🌤️
Walk along the famous Busselton Jetty - the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere! Or you may fancy yourself a ride on the tram along the jetty instead. This is one of the major reasons for visiting Busselton.
If the weather allows, take a dive and a swim! Snorkel under the jetty to transport yourself into a magical underwater world teeming with marine life. 🐠🪸 "
