About Busselton
Busselton is a seaside town on Geographe Bay in Western Australia, known for its very long timber jetty and as a gateway to Margaret River.
Busselton lies on the sheltered, shallow water of Geographe Bay in the south-west corner of Western Australia, south of Perth. Its landmark is the Busselton Jetty, almost two kilometres long and one of the longest timber-piled jetties in the world. A small train runs along it, and at the far end an underwater observatory looks onto corals, sponges and fish that have settled on the piles.
