The Town of Busselton

Busselton is situated 232 kilometres south of Perth on the sheltered waters of Geographe Bay.

It was one of the early settlements in Western Australia first settled in the 1830s although much of the area has been named by the French explorer Nicholas Baudin (pronounced "Bow-Dan") who visited the shores in the early 1800s.

Busselton has many kilometres of beautiful sandy
beaches and clear safe waters making it an ideal
holiday destination. The jetty has a reputation for being the longest wooden jetty in the southern
hemisphere stretching 1.8 kilometres into the Bay.

Unfortunately the jetty will be closed 2009/2010
for renovations

At the end of the jetty is the Underwater Observatory where visitors can descend 8 metres to the bottom of the seabed and view the magnificent coral and local marine life.

The Busselton Shire is also full of wineries for the lovers of wine and cheese and chocolate tastings. The famous Margaret River is only 30 minutes away.

Baudins B&B is only 500 metres from the beach and 1 kilometre from the centre of town so an ideal location.

Busselton hosts the annual Ironman event in December.

The event attracts around 900 competitors from all over the world and it's an exciting day for spectators as well as the competitors.

The event begins at dawn with a 3.2km swim around the jetty, then a 180km cycle ride and finally a 42.2km run.
