You can take the little Train to the end and back if you would prefer not to walk, it can be pretty costly for a family though. There is an underwater observatory the end of the Jetty, again it can be costly for a family but worth a look.巴瑟尔顿码头Busselton Jetty)位于西澳佩斯的南面,是南半球最长的木制码头,从海岸往外延伸到海中,全长达1841英尺,上面有火车轨道,在过去,提供船只停靠卸货等用途,但随着时间,泡在海中的木头受到损害,为安全起见,现只有供游人步行走上有铁轨的码头上游玩。Wonky Windmill Farm and Eco ParkBusselton – Margaret River (50 KM 40 min driving time)玛格丽特河 (Margaret River)上 60 多间葡萄酒厂的葡萄酒供应量占了全澳大利亚顶级葡萄酒市场20%的份额。酒厂也提供地窖酒买卖和品尝,可满足旅游者的多种选择。特色啤酒厂、熏衣草园、精致的各式奶酪産品、果酱及调味品生产厂家、马荣(淡水小龙虾)农庄、橄榄园、甚至朱古力和软糖工厂均增添了旅游者的美食体验。’Meelup Beach (30KM, 30 min driving time from Busselton)One the most beautiful spots in the south west.

There are several things to do here:1. Great Forest Trees Drive: This unsealed gravel road allows you to drive through the nicer parts of the park, with many stops along the way, such as Snake Gully Lookout (has a wooden boardwalk), and Big Tree Grove. Unfortunately the southern half of this drive is currently closed due to bushfire damage.2. Bushwalking: There's some beautiful bushwalks accessible from the day use area, and even a bird hide. You can even walk up to the dam, which is a lovely walk. The Shannon Dam Walk is a 3.5km return walk, while the Rocks Walk is a 5.5km return walk to Mokare's Rock, which has some steep sections and a boardwalk, but I'd recommend it if you can make it.3. Camping: The Shannon campground has long been a popular camping place for people wanting to find themselves in nature. Unfortunately, it was also experienced major bushfire damage, so it is currently closed and undergoing a major redevelopment.The real appeal of this national park are the beautiful karri trees, and it is sad that part of it experienced bushfire damage, but in time it will become beautiful again.Nearby Attraction – Four Aces and Glenoran Pool (Swimming)Walpole (60 min, 80 KM)Depend on situation, we may stay in Shannon National Park or Stay in Walpole31 Dec 2017 SunActualMissed WOW Wilderness Cruise, need to book in advanceDrive to NorthcliffReached windy harbour 3:30 PM6 PM reach WalpolePlannedStay in Walpole沃尔浦尔(Walpole)是西南地区唯一一处变色桉树生长延伸至海边的地方-海浪几乎可以轻拍树干。整个沃尔浦尔 (Walpole) 位于国家公园内,拥有蜿蜒的步径、辽阔的森林,内河可供泛舟游玩或划独木舟,也可钓鱼、宿营或尝试急浪橡皮艇。在这里,您可以尽享世界最长( 600米)﹑最高(高达 4 0米)的树梢漫步巨人谷树顶步道(Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk),将南部森林独特的景致尽收眼底,整条通道蜿蜒于巨大的汀格树(giant tingle)和变色桉树 (karritrees)的上部枝干之上。WOW Wilderness CruiseWalpole Visitors Centre, Walpole, Western Australia 6398, AustraliaCruise trip of 2 hours, good review and price said to be reasonableDeparts daily 10 AMTree Top WalkWalpole-Nornalup National Park | The entrance to the bridge is from the Ranger Station via Peirce track., Walpole, Western Australia 6398, AustraliaOpening Hours:Tuesday - Friday: 9am – 5pmSaturday, Sunday & Public Holidays: 8.30 am – 5pm*Closed on Mondays, except on Public HolidaysGuidelines:The TreeTop Walk gate closes at 5pm sharp.

The sea was relatively calm when we visited but the surf was still pounding through the gap. It would be an amazing sight when the surf is rough. Well worth a visit.Little Beach, Two Peoples Bay Nature ReserveTwo Peoples Bay Rd, Nanarup | Great Southern Region, Albany, Western Australia 6330, AustraliaLittle beach was named one of Australia's best beaches. It's easy to see why when one first sets their eyes on this location. It's positioning in a secluded corner of the National Park keeps many tourists away keeping its water clean and sand white. The road into the beach was scenic and very pretty. Although we didn't swim I can imagine how lovely it would be on a summer day. Thank you to all the tourists who have taken their rubbish home with them so this spot stays clean and pristine.

In fact it's just a large expanse of water. A huge rainfall dilited the lake to such an extend, that what caused the lake to be so pink in the past (this bit is explained on postings at the lookout)Since it's on the 40 km drive we drove past anyway, then came across this cute small brewery, called Lukcy Bay brewery, whre we washed down our disappointment with the lake "attraction" with a lovely tasting.Lucky Bay BrewingLot 16 Barook Rd | near Pink Lake, Esperance, Western Australia 6450, AustraliaThe beer here is so delicious! I have not 1, not 2, but 3 favorites. We tried the 7 beer tasting option, 100ml of each. They all taste so different and really wonderful. The owner was so friendly and you can tell he puts a lot of loving care into each brew. The yard is very casual but there was music playing and several places to sit with 3 tables of people enjoying the brew. We took home 2 1-litre cans of beer at $15 each, can't wait to crack one open at the beach. Honestly its my favourite "pub" in townCape Le Grand National Park (#1)92 Dempster St | Cape Le Grand National Park, Esperance, Western Australia 6450, AustraliaWent for drive out to Cape Le Grand national park. We visited Lucky Bay and Hellfire Bay. These two beaches are just beautiful and have the finest white sand. Lucky Bay supposedly has the whitest sand in Australia. The sand is so white it is squeaky.
