The Busselton Jetty is a remarkable landmark stretching 1.8 kilometers into Geographe Bay in Western Australia. As the longest timber-piled jetty in the southern hemisphere, it offers a unique blend of activities for visitors. One of the most popular activities is fishing off the side of the jetty. Anglers can cast their lines from various points along the jetty, targeting species such as yellowfin whiting, tailor, skippy, herring, snapper, mulloway, and even southern bluefin tuna. The jetty's lights attract squid at night, making it an exciting spot for night fishing.

At the end of the jetty, you'll find the Busselton Underwater Observatory, one of only six underwater observatories in the world. This unique attraction allows visitors to descend 8 meters below the ocean's surface without getting wet. Inside the observatory, you can explore Australia's largest artificial reef, home to over 300 marine species. The observatory features 11 viewing windows, offering a fascinating glimpse into the underwater world of tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish, and invertebrates. The journey to the observatory includes a scenic 1.7-kilometer ride on the fully-enclosed, solar-powered jetty train, providing stunning 360-degree views of Geographe Bay.

Whether you're an avid fisherman or a curious explorer, Busselton Jetty has something to offer. From the thrill of catching a prized fish to the awe-inspiring experience of observing marine life up close, this destination promises a memorable adventure for all who visit.
