Destination Profile - Busselton, Western Australia
Extending almost 2km out over the protected waters of Geographe Bay, the heritage listed Busselton Jetty is the longest timber jetty (pier) in the Southern Hemisphere. Only 2 ½ hours drive south of Perth, it is situated at the northern gateway to the Margaret River Wine Region in the seaside resort town of Busselton (twice judged Western Australia's "Top Tourist Town"). Attracting up to 200,000 visitors per year, the landmark Busselton Jetty is the most popular tourist attraction in the South West region.
Closed as a port in 1972, the 137 year old jetty has since been ravaged by both fire and cyclone. It survives today thanks to the tremendous support of the local community and the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually who choose to stroll its length, ride the famous red Jetty Train, fish, swim, scuba dive or snorkel.
This destination is part of the Western Wedge Safari Australian Adventure.
