Twice Voted WA’s top tourism town Busselton gives you so many reasons to take a drive down south, get away with the family or maybe sneak in some time for yourself. No matter your interests or level of adventure or needs Busselton has it covered.
Busselton is the type of place you will want to make and share a lot of fond memories.
- Extending 1.8 kilometres across stunning Geographe Bay, the heritage listed Busselton Jetty is the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. With that much Jetty you can be sure there is loads to see and do, find out more at the Jetty’s own website.
- The Jetty’s Underwater Observatory is fun for the whole family. We recommend you board the Jetty train out to save your legs for the spiral staircase taking you 8 metres down to the sea floor. There you can experience the beautiful forest of vividly coloured tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates. Discover more about the UWO or see the footage of the live webcams here.
