This is definitely a place to visit.
Beautiful coastal strip, crystal clear waters with an abundance
of marine life and a very nice cafe on the beach.

The
Busselton Jetty at 1841 metres is the longest wooden jetty in the southern
hemisphere. Built in many stages between 1865 and 1962 the jetty ceased
operation in 1972. In 1978 Cyclone Alby devastated the oldest portion
of the Jetty. The Jetty train is currently not running due to the lack
of operating trains - they just don't have any working at the moment. |

Up and around again the next morning.
|
Early in the morning a group of
enthusiastic people swam along side the Jetty. |
|
|
|
However we opted to just
walk it again.

|
Then back to the car to relax for awhile
before setting out and exploring the township of Busselton.
