sightseeing
Dunsborough is the gateway to the South West and is close to many attractions that will make your visit memorable. In this section I have highlighted a few of my favourite places. I hope you can add them to your holiday "bucket list" as they are well worth a visit.
Busselton Jetty
17 Queen StA brilliant spot to watch the majesty of the sea. Walk along the platform, just down form the car park,to get the best view of the waves as they crash towards the shore. Look down and try to spot the crabs as they scurry around. The sunsets are magnificent - check out sunset times to make sure your don't miss all the action.

About an hours drive but well worth a visit. A windy spot so take extra clothing! Walk out to see the lighthouse and out onto the platform where you can experience where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet - brilliant! Nice little gift shop and cafe.
