Description
Busselton was one of the earliest settlements in Western Australia. It was first settled by the Bussell family, George Layman, and the Chapman brothers, who relocated there from their location on the Blackwood River. John Garrett Bussell first visited Busselton in December 1831, describing the land as follows: "The country as we advanced improved rapidly; the ground on which we trod was a vivid green, unsullied with burnt sticks and blackened grass trees". Bussell was granted land in the area in July 1832 and the settlers moved there in April 1834.
Busselton is a city in the South West region of the Australian state of Western Australia. Busselton is 220 km (140 mi) south-west of Perth and was voted Western Australia's top tourist town in 1995, 1996, and 2005.
Busselton is home to the longest wooden jetty (pier) in the Southern Hemisphere, stretching 1,841 metres (6,040 ft) out to sea. Construction of the jetty began in 1864 and it was continually extended until the 1960s, when it reached its current length. It was closed to shipping in 1972, and maintenance was discontinued for a time. Following major damage caused by Cyclone Alby in 1978 and a fire in 1999, it was restored and improved. Since 2003, the jetty has offered visitors a tourist train ride, an underwater observatory, and an interpretive centre. Info courtesy of Wikipedia.

Definitely keeping our social distance and enjoying the fresh seebreeze air, this cache wasn't even 500m away from home.
Cheers for the bonus on our pleasant daily bit of sanity.
Hopefully it will whether the winter storms that crash over the boardwalk. TFTC
