110. Busselton

BUSSELTON PIER



Probably the most famous landmark in Busselton is the pier. Actual length is 1.9 odd kilometres making it the longest pier in the southern hemisphere. We took the train to the underwater observatory situated at piers end & guided tour.




UNDERWATER OBSERVATORY


At piers end the water depth is a mere 8 metres; this is of course why the pier is so long in the first place. In recent times after years of lobbying, the local Council helped fund this magnificent observatory.



BUSSELTON


Busselton is another jewel of the south east region of WA. Turquoise waters, white sand, friendly locals, & still a layback lifestyle that one finds away from city life.
