Western Australia - Day 3 (Pt 2): Busselton Jetty

Our first touristy stop of the day was Busselton Jetty, which extended 1.8km over the protected waters of Geographe Bay and was the longest timber piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.  We arrived at about 11am, and the first thing to do was to purchase our combo tickets (Jetty Train + Underwater Observatory) for the next time slot at noon.  That meant we had an hour of free time... and the children could not wait to hit the beach.

Almost time for the train ride



Super clear water

Here comes the train!

At the lowest level, 8 metres beneath the water's surface.

End of the jetty, 3969km from Singapore





The children earned a stamp each for making it to the end of the jetty!



The train is back to fetch us!


Goodbye!



One parting shot of the beach, with its amazingly clear water.
