The first morning starts before the city tightens its belt — a shuttle slips out of Perth and the road unfurls toward the coast. Salt air pushes at the windows as the bus crosses into Bunbury, where dolphins often drift alongside the boat, curious and quick. By afternoon the group steps onto Busselton Jetty; the train rocks gently while the Underwater Observatory fixes the ocean in a porthole of light.

Wildlife
History
The Leeuwin-Naturaliste coastline contains limestone caves formed over millions of years and has deep Noongar cultural history; European maritime navigation added lighthouses and shipwreck stories.
Conservation
Respect marked dune and cave paths to protect fragile karst formations and nesting shorebirds; many coastal waters are within marine protected areas, so avoid disturbing marine wildlife.
