On our way to Bussleton we stopped in at Mandurah and Bunbury both really nice places. One of our RA stops was at Buffalo Road RA just short of Bunbury, although it was a little noisy being near the highway there was a lovely walk through the paddocks to a billabong over a couple of styles where there was lots of birdlife, very pleasant. The next RA was in the only remaining forest of Tuart pines in the world.
Bussleton itself is a really beautiful place right on the ocean, one of those towns where you would say it would be nice to live. They claim to have the longest remaining wooden pile pier in the southern hemisphere it is 1.8 km long. The local townsfolk fought to keep the pier after the town was no longer used as a port and raised enough money to restore it.
There is an underwater observatory at the end of the pier 8 metres down ,which is fascinating, where wild fish can be observed, there were huge shoals of yellowtails and lots of other varieties. The ticket for the observatory includes a train ride there and back and a tour.
