3 Best Places To Visit in Busselton WA

Busselton Jetty is an ideal destination for a family day trip, located just 2.5 hours away from Perth city. Known as one of the longest wooden jetties in the world, it offers a variety of activities suitable for all ages. You can take a leisurely stroll along the 1.8-kilometer jetty, hop on the iconic jetty train, or visit the Underwater Observatory to explore the fascinating marine life beneath the surface. The pristine beaches surrounding the jetty are perfect for a picnic or a swim, and there are nearby cafes and playgrounds to keep everyone entertained.

I really enjoyed the Jetty, it is a lively walk to the end. Reading and answering questions along the way on silver plaques. And reading the plaques about fisherman who have died was really interesting. Then once you get to the end you can view the observatory before getting a ride back on the mini train. There was nothing I didn’t enjoy about the Jetty. It was really relaxing to feel the nice breeze in the afternoon and go to a nice walk with the family. Also there were beautiful views of the ocean and sunset.

Busselton Jetty is an iconic feature of SE Western Australia. Remarkable in its length and features, it's an absolute pleasure to experience, and photograph, day or night. From here, there have been sightings of whales, the Manta rays in Summer, and even seals. Stunning, in a beautiful location, with brilliant weather. Hard to beat.

HBH indulges a nostalgic morning learning about life through the generations in Busselton. We needed something different to do; Busselton Museum was perfect. Friendly helpful staff [I guess volunteers]. Many different rooms each themed. From sewing machines and kitchen wares, military displays, farm machinery, an old school house fully kitted out and much much more. Outdoor and indoor displays. And everything about the origins of this place - the Busselton Butter factory and how it worked. Great for every age group, outside area overlooking the river. A place of discovery.

Apparently they had a serious fire through this museum (or part of it) a few years ago and it's a tribute to the hard-working volunteers that you'd never know if they didn't tell you. Stacks of interesting exhibits and a good historical overview of Busselton and the surrounding area. Well worth a visit!

One of the best volunteer run historical museums I have ever visited (and I’ve been to a few). So many periods covered and so many artefacts from these. Room after room brings back many distant memories. I loved the old classroom and early readers. NB: No indigenous/first peoples history or their treatment is included.

This lovely rural property sits on Wadandi country and, as such, shares a history that has at times been catastrophic for the first people and their decendants. The National Trust has endeavoured to record the Wandandi people's version of events alongside the colonists' version. The property features two historic houses and numerous out buildings which you can investigate at your leisure. I was surprised that the houses were largely unfurnished as I had expected to see them set up as they were in their times of use. However, the empty rooms did showcase the design and construction of the times, and this was a journey through time in itself. There are story boards throughout the buildings and houses that tell of the history, and a map and timeline are available when purchasing a ticket. The gardens are impeccable, and the couple who caretake are knowledgeable and friendly. Across the road, the school room and school mistresses' houses are additional benefits to see in your self guided tour.

Nestled between a majestic Tuart forest and the Vasse Estuary wetlands, the peaceful, almost romantic setting of Wonnerup belies a more difficult and turbulent past. The house, school and ancillary buildings are a powerful reminder of the isolation, danger and struggles faced by the Layman family during its 120 year occupation of Wonnerup.

Very interesting trip into the past. This place is impeccably maintained. Good to just wander around and feel the vibe. Very calming.
