Beauty, community, and lifestyle.
If we could only choose three words to help describe Busselton, those would be the ones. Thankfully, we are not limited, because Busselton is one of those places that we could talk about for days.
A two-and-a-half-hour drive from Perth, Busselton is located in the southwest tip of Western Australia. And, with a rich history, a current beauty, and a bright future, it is a city that provides visitors with a great experience and residents with the opportunity to create the perfect balance of work opportunities and lifestyle.
While today Busselton is famous for features such as the longest timber piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, the city was one of the earliest settlements in Western Australia when established in 1832. It was settled by the Bussell family who after settlement established one of the most well-known cattle stations in the location, a large reason many settlers were attracted to the area.
Fast forward some years, Busselton established itself as a leading port and a destination for whaling ships, the majority coming from the US, France, and England.
With a growing community, the first school in Busselton was established in 1848 and since then, the developing city, never really stopped. Of course, while the history is rich and the city was influenced by several industries over the years, the leading industry today in Busselton and the area is tourism. When you visit there for the first time, it will make sense why.
Things to do in Busselton Tourism is indeed he leading industry in Busselton today. One of the main reasons for that, is the Busselton jetty. We mentioned the famous jetty is 1.8 kilometres long but that really is just the beginning. While going through several changes over the years, today when visiting the jetty, you can walk it, ride the train, and enjoy the underwater observation centre, one of only six in the entire world.
Apart from the jetty, a great snorkelling experience, and cafés, the city is also known to attract visitors and residents to other events such as the outdoor cinema, art festivals, beer festivals, and many other family friendly attractions such as the Busselton Museum and heritage trails.
Apart from the specific events, Busselton and its surrounding have many parks, and open spaces to simply enjoy some of the best air in Western Australia.
Population, diversity, and religion The city today is home to approximately 30,000 residents from a variety of cultural backgrounds, creating a multi cultural experience and lifestyle for those living and visiting the city.
The city has a police station, fire station and all the necessary security for residents to enjoy a relaxed life. While like everywhere, the city would experience minor crime incidents, Busselton is a safe place to live and visit.
There are 9 schools in the Busselton area. Out for the 9 schools, six are public schools and three are private schools, for both primary and high school. The city also has over 10 childcare services for the younger ages.
While summers include hot days but cool nights, Busselton does experience the four full seasons with the hottest months being December – February and June – August being the coldest months that include some rainy days. During winter, while it is wet, you will often find it is still a popular tourist destination due to the impressive storms and the beautiful scene it create on the ocean.
The main hospital in the city has gone through several changes over the years, with the latest one introducing the Busselton Health Campus in 2015. The world class hospital has an expanded emergency department, expanded day ward and day surgery facilities, including 84 beds with 64 overnight beds, two operating theatres, and everything required to deliver first class treatment. Apart from the main hospital, there are several medical clinics and practices around the city.
