Extending almost two kilometres out over Geographe Bay the heritage listed Busselton Jetty is the longest timber jetty (pier) in the Southern Hemisphere. The Jetty is situated in the seaside resort town of Busselton, the northern gateway to the Margaret River Wine Region .
The 140 year old Jetty has been ravaged by both fire and cyclone. It exists today thanks to the support of the local community and the thousands of visitors who choose to stroll it's length, fish, swim, scuba dive and snorkel. The first railway in Western Australia was located a few kilometres east of the Busselton Jetty.
The boat shed style Interpretive Centre, built 50 metres off shore, allows visitors to glimpse the Jetty's rich past and exciting future. Entry is free, and along with exhibits of history, the marine environment and art, the Centre houses an unique range of souvenirs. Open daily (excluding Christmas Day).
