Busselton WA, Bunbury WA, Cape Naturaliste WA, Lighthouse, jetty
Busselton WA April 24, 2015 It's overcast and cold. Our plan while here was to have a look around the coast from Bunbury in the North to Augusta in the south, so we had better get a move on. First stop however was the world-famous jetty at Albany (why have I never heard of these things?). It's claim to fame is that it is the longest wooden pier in the world and at 1864 metres in length, who is going to argue? We only had a peek today as there was a cruise ship's worth of people crowding everything out from the jetty to the beach to the special cruise-day market. At the end of the jetty there is an underwater observation area and there is a little train to get you out and back. But like everything in WA, it's going to cost you a pretty penny. Even a walk along the jetty will cost you $3. As it is maintained by the local people, not 'the government' and costs a bomb to look after, every dollar counts I guess. Jetty. Busselton WA Jetty.
