Bussleton Jetty

            Busselton Jetty is the second longest wooden jetty (pier) in the world[citation needed] at 1841 meters long. Over 500,000 people visited the iconic Western Australian attraction in 2017/18.[citation needed]

The Jetty is managed by a not-for-profit community organisation Busselton Jetty Inc. Proceeds from tours and entry fees go back into conserving and preserving the heritage listed[citation needed] Jetty.

The jetty construction commenced in 1853 and the first section was opened in 1865. The jetty was extended numerous times until the 1960s, ultimately reaching a length of 1841 m. The last commercial vessel called at the jetty in 1971 and the jetty was closed the following year. It passed into the control of Busselton Shire and has been gradually restored and improved since. The jetty has survived Cyclone Alby in 1978, borers, weathering, several fires, and the threat of demolition, to have become a major regional tourist attraction.

The jetty features a rail line along its length, a relic of the railway line into Busselton from Bunbury. The line now carries tourists along the jetty to an underwater observatory, one of only six natural aquariums in the world, which opened to the public in 2003. A waterslide was built around a lighthouse structure next to the landward end of the jetty in 1981; it remained operating until 2011.
