Rediscover the Busselton Jetty Experience!
Spanning 1.8 kilometres across Geographe Bay, Busselton Jetty is the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. Highlights include the spectacular Underwater Observatory and the Jetty Train, plus a myriad of recreational options.
The Busselton Jetty re-opened on Sunday 6 February 2011 after a $27 million refurbishment. New features include interpretive nodes, swimming and diving platforms, rain shelters and heritage sculptures. Most importantly, visitors can board the jetty train to travel 1.7 kilometres to view the spectacular Underwater Observatory.
The Underwater Observatory provides visitors with the opportunity to view amazing marine life which can be viewed after an eight metre descent via a spiral staircase. There are eleven viewing windows at various levels within the chamber allowing visitors to view Geographe Bay’s amazing underwater garden. Described as Australia’s greatest artificial reef, the Busselton Jetty is host to an awe inspiring forest of vividly coloured tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates. Provision of a lift within the Observatory ensures that this amazing experience is available to all.
The observatory is also wheelchair friendly.
Location: Busselton is located 229 kilometres south of the city of Perth and is the northern gateway to the Margaret River Wine Region.
