The detail
What you'll find
Descend into a living artificial reef. It's one of the experiences that makes Busselton Jetty unmissable on this stretch of the road trip.
In context
Busselton Jetty is the longest timber-piled jetty in the southern hemisphere — a 1.8 kilometre walk above clear, calm water. At the end, an underwater observatory descends 8 metres into Geographe Bay to reveal a thriving artificial reef of corals, sponges and fish.
Good to know
Tips for the visit
- Book the Underwater Observatory in advance.
- Take a hat — there is zero shade on the walk out.
- The train is worth it for kids or in the heat; otherwise walk.
