BUSSELTON, WA TRAVEL
Busselton is different from your average holiday hub. The coastal town 222km south of Perth is the gateway to the famed Margaret River region - a place of great temptations, peppered with producers of world-class wines, cheeses, chocolates, craft beers and spirits. In other words, the finer things in life.
Adding to its fine reputation are the town's pleasures of its own. Nestled in Geographe Bay, Busselton is a popular spot for fleeing Perth city slickers, particularly families, to rest up along sheltered shores. The town thrives by the water with its revamped foreshore, ocean swimming enclosures, cycle lanes, playgrounds, and alluring unspoiled beaches.
