BUSSELTON JETTY @ GEOGRAPHE BAY, BUSSELTON, PERTH
Sleek and tall standing conifer trees greeted us upon
our hasty arrival from Canal’s Rock,
Cape Naturaliste as
well as Meelup Beach. Suddenly it reminded me of the autumn time spent in Naomi
Island previously, so heartwarming…………..
Anyway, we gotta be hurried up towards the long jetty
as sunset was just lurking around the corner by the time we reached.
Busselton Foreshore
Sts Leeuwin Berth at Allies Landing
Bollard Trail & Directional Wind Vane
Old ‘Skelly’ Jetty Remains (Shows how jetty was
constructed. Also where seagulls nest and raise their young here in Spring)
Fishing, Squidding and Crabbing along the length of
the jetty.
Cruiseship Tender Platform East
The first section of the jetty was opened in 1865 and
has been numerously extended to its current length of 1,841 metres! Hmm, and
now I wonder would it even got elongated again? I don’t mind to walk further
down again, hehe.
A small entry fee is charged to fund maintenance and
preserve the heritage listed jetty for future generations. Jetty Day Pass for
Adult (AUD 4) and CHILD (Free)
At the end of the jetty is one of only 5 Underwater
Observatories (UWO) in the World!
Do bear in mind there are some uneven surface along
the jetty. As such, care must be taken at all times especially if you are
travelling with elderly or the young persons, whom ought to be accompanied
along.
There is also a leisure ride that could be taken on
the Jetty Train from the Interpretive Centre to the UWO; package priced at AUD
34 (Adult) and AUD 17 (Child 7-4 yo), or optional Family Pass available too at
AUD 90.50 (2 Adult & 2 Children) that includes 40mins guided tour, return
train journey and jetty day pass.
About
Busselton Jetty
The Busselton Jetty is 1.841km long. It is the longest
timber piled jetty in the southern hemisphere and is operated by a non-profit
community organisation known as Busselton Jetty Inc. Proceeds from ticket sales
contribute to jetty maintenance and conservation.
Time passed real fast when you’re enjoying such a
wonderfully tranquil moment. Without realizing, the day had turned dark pretty
fast and this means it’s time for us to head back to our crib downtown- which
was nearly an hour away.
Cheers for now and follow us at Carpe Diem for more ‘food-ful’
discoveries! ❤ℒℴѵℯ❤
And our travel journey continues....................
