Why you’ll love it: Exploring an unusual combination of marine life and man-made structures
Stretching 1.8km (1.1mi) into the Indian Ocean from the coast of the Margaret River region, Busselton Jetty is a spectacular site to behold in itself, but even greater treasures lie beneath its surface. Since the jetty’s construction in 1865, submerged timber pylons have become home to a vibrant array of marine life, with over 300 species now living in the accidental artificial reef. Large underwater sculptures at the end of the jetty were strategically added to provide even more homes for wildlife and an exciting sight for divers to witness in their explorations.
