Your city/hometown

[LittleBlackDuck]

Here'e the second Aussie contribution to this thread ....

For the past 10 years I've been living in the coastal tourist town of Busselton in the state of Western Australia. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive south of where CrazyCanuck lives (I grew up in Tuart Hill Canuck )

Busso, as us locals call it, is famous for having the longest timber jetty in the southern hemisphere. As you can see, it also has a glorious white sandy beach and calm, crystal clear ocean. The four boatsheds that you can see in the photo house the interpretive centre and for those that don't want to walk, or can't walk, the small dinky train takes you to the end of of the jetty.



The jetty is almost 2 km long (about 1.2 miles) and at the end of it is an underwater observatory.



The observatory is a chamber that takes you 8 metres below the surface of the water and has about 3 levels and 11 viewing windows allowing you to see the unbelievably beautiful coloured corals that habitate the pylons of the jetty.



I haven't been inside the observatory but have scuba dived under the jetty and the marine life just took my breath away .

Oh.... and Busselton is host of IronmanWA (Ironman Western Australia) .
