Dawn folds over Perth as a touring coach pulls away from the riverfront and heads south; fields of grazing cattle flatten into coastal scrub, and the air takes on eucalyptus and sea salt. By mid-morning the coach reaches Busselton Jetty — a straight, wooden finger 1.8 km into Geographe Bay — where the calm water dares you to walk its length and the horizon feels close enough to touch.
