We are having a spell out of the van and are housesitting in Busselton for 6 weeks from mid august. we would appreciate a few hints about what we should see while we are there and also about any supposed attractions that we should give a miss.

their famous jetty and underwater observatory is closed at the moment.

Brrrr! I hope the heating is working. Apart from that, it really is a pretty place. You can go down to Dunsborough, Augusta and Margaret River. There are the caves east of Dunsborough, if you're interested in cavies. There's Bunbury to the north, or you can go inland a couple of hundred kms to some lovely country. If you can walk down the jetty the underwater observatory is really worth spending some time checking out. You really don't have to go very far to see new, interesting country down that way. Enjoy the experiences and keep us posted. Cheers Chris
