Busselton boasts a rich heritage as a beloved vacation spot among Western Australians. In 1972, the closure of Busselton Port coincided with the rise of the neighbouring Margaret River wine region. This combination transformed tourism into the main driver of investment and growth. Additionally, the expansion of various service and retail sectors has supported this change.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"376\" data-end=\"645\" data-is-last-node=\"\">The city&#8217;s most renowned attraction is the Busselton Jetty. This remarkable wooden structure holds the title of the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. Furthermore, visitors can enjoy beautiful coastal views and diverse wildlife along the shores of Geographe Bay.<\/p>\n<h2>Busselton Jetty<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32489\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/train-on-busselton-jetty.jpg\" alt=\"Train on busselton jetty\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/train-on-busselton-jetty.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/train-on-busselton-jetty-980x656.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/train-on-busselton-jetty-480x321.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The construction of the jetty commenced in 1864, and it underwent continuous extensions until the 1960s, ultimately reaching its current length of 1.84 km. However, in 1972, the shipping port closed and maintenance was discontinued. The jetty suffered significant damage from Cyclone Alby in 1978 and a fire in 1999 and consequently underwent extensive restoration and enhancements in the aftermath of these incidents. Since 2003, the jetty has provided visitors with the opportunity to enjoy a solar powered tourist train ride, explore an underwater observatory (one of only six natural aquariums in the world), and engage with an interpretive centre, giving insight into the jetty&#8217;s history. In the early months of 2023, a series of steel and concrete sculptures were installed beneath and alongside the jetty, forming an artificial reef and a designated diving trail.<\/p>\n<h2>Natural Wonders<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32490\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Margaret-River-cave-tours-in-Ngilgi-Cave.jpg\" alt=\"Margaret River cave tours in Ngilgi Cave\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Margaret-River-cave-tours-in-Ngilgi-Cave.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Margaret-River-cave-tours-in-Ngilgi-Cave-980x656.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Margaret-River-cave-tours-in-Ngilgi-Cave-480x321.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"407\"><strong>Busselton Foreshore<\/strong> is a beautifully developed waterfront area that stands out. Along the foreshore, you\u2019ll find the iconic Busselton Jetty, a tourist information centre, a charming cafe, and public amenities. Lush parks and expansive green spaces separate this area from the bustling CBD, creating an ideal family-friendly setting. It\u2019s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenic beauty of Geographe Bay.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"409\" data-end=\"744\"><strong>The Geographe Bay coastline<\/strong> is a natural paradise. It offers pristine swimming beaches, captivating hiking trails, and crystal-clear waters. Stretching from Busselton to Cape Naturaliste in Dunsborough, this coastline reveals hidden bays. You can also find delightful waterfront dining spots and accommodations with breathtaking views.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"1108\"><strong>The region from Busselton to Augusta<\/strong> is home to some of Australia\u2019s most abundant caves. Each cave features unique formations and is accessible to visitors of all ages. The cave entrances are just as awe-inspiring as the wonders inside. Six caves, including Jewel, Ngilgi, and Lake Caves, are open for public viewing, offering exciting exploration opportunities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1723\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><strong>Tuart Forest National Park<\/strong> provides a peaceful woodland environment for leisurely walks, picnics, and nature observation. While it may not seem significant at first, the park plays a vital role. It protects the world\u2019s largest remaining pristine Tuart tree forest. Within the park, you\u2019ll find the tallest Tuart trees on the Swan Coastal Plain. Some soar over 33 metres tall and have girths up to 10 metres. These remarkable trees thrive exclusively on coastal limestone, found only within 200 kilometres of Perth. The landscape, once damaged by land clearing, was protected when the park was established in 1987.<\/p>\n<h2>Cultural Delights<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32491\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/People-at-a-healthy-eating-event.jpg\" alt=\"People at a healthy eating event\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/People-at-a-healthy-eating-event.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/People-at-a-healthy-eating-event-980x656.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/People-at-a-healthy-eating-event-480x321.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"432\">On the banks of the Vasse River, the Busselton Museum is located within the Old Butter Factory Precinct.
