The Busselton Jetty
No visit to the South West of WA is complete without experiencing the Busselton Jetty.
The jetty, which is nearly 2km long, was started in 1865, with construction stopping in 1965. Though it was abandoned by the local government in 1972, and shows the results of damage caused by cyclones and fires that have marred it over the years, the Busselton Jetty now provides guests with a wealth of experiences.
Spend the day strolling along its length, or just drop a line in the water and while away an afternoon in relaxation. Those looking for something more active can take advantage of the warm waters and experience the scuba diving spots that have become some of the most popular in the area.
The Busselton Jetty Underwater Observatory offers an unforgettable experience for groups of all ages.
Located 8 meters below sea level, the Observatory offers the rare chance for visitors to see 300 different types of marine life in one location.
