Some more photos of Busselton. We had a great day exploring the jetty and the underwater observatory. When the kids had had enough of looking underwater we caught the train back to the start of the jetty and walked to the swimming area and let the kids swim for the rest of the afternoon.

We spent an afternoon in Busselton is the South West of WA. They have the longest jetty with wooden pylons in Australia, it is 1800m long with an underwater observatory at the end. The water there is crystal clear and they have a big roped off area for kids to swim in.

When we went for a trip to Maree in June 2011 we were hoping to see the camel cup, but when we got there we found out that we were a month too soon. Luckily they had their annual cattle mustering championships on. Here are some shots of a cattleman lassoing a calf.
