아름다운 해안, 버셀톤 제티 Busselton Jetty

호주에서 가장 좋아하는 장소!!

호주를 다녀와서도 계속 생각나는 장소!!

한번 가면 또 가야하는 장소!!

피쉬앤칩스와 가장 어울리는 장소!!

많은 수식어를 붙일 수 있는 서호주의 아름다운 해변입니다.

긴 부두가 있기 때문에 유명 관광지로 기차를 타고 부두 끝까지 가 볼 수있습니다. 물론 걸어서도 가능합니다.

 

부두가 있는 해변 입구에는 어린이 놀이터, 시원한 맥주, 해변이 있어 안전한 바다수영도 즐길 수 있습니다.

바다가 완만하여 먼 바다까지 깊이 3~4m 되어 보이고, 낚시도 가능합니다.

밤에는 가로등이 있어서 밤낚시로도 아주 좋은 장소 입니다.

 

바다가 깊지않아 파도도 없어 잔잔한 바다를 느낄 수 있으며 바다수영하기에 딱 좋은 조건을 갖고 있습니다.

뜨거운 햇살에 뜨거운 마른 모래는 물에서 뺏긴 체온을 채워주기에 충분하고 바닷물 속이 보여 꽃게와 물고기가 많이 눈에 띕니다. 꽃게를 잡는 전문 어린이 사냥꾼들은 보고만 있어도 즐겁습니다.

 

퍼스 서호주를 방문하고 남측으로 이동방향을 잡았다면 첫번째로 만날 수 있는 유명 관광지 입니다.

유명 관광지라서 사람에 치이고 기다리고 붐비고 바쁜 것이 전혀 없는 그런 장소입니다.

자연스럽게 시간이 흐르고 여유있고 편안하며 잠시 지난온 시간의 가치를 느낄 수 있는 그런 장소 입니다.

꼭 추천 드립니다.

버셀톤 제티!! 

나이가 들어 늙어서 호주 일주를 계획하고 있는 내게는 이곳이 시작점이 될 것입니다.

 

EARLY YEARS

Kaya (welcome) to Wadandi boodjara (Country), home of Doonan Wongi/ Doonan language group. 

Since time began the Wadandi had names for all the features and spirits of their boodjara. 

In this context, 1801 is but a moment ago, when Frenchman Captain Nicholas Baudin led his scientific expedition to this bay (Wattern) and named it Geographe Bay.

 

A NEW TOWN

Busseton was initially known as The Vasse when settlement began is 1834. Supplies were delivered to the small community from boats which pulled up on the beach untile the construction of the jetty in 1865.

As the district thrived a new jetty, the 'Skeleton Jetty', was built in 1911. This enabled trains to take goods out to the ships moored alongside the jetty.

 

IT'S A HOLIDAY!

The jetty and the foreshore have always been popular with locals and visitors. 

The sheltered waters are perfect for a casual swim, building a sandeastle, promenading, fishing or participating in a hard fought competition such as the Busselton Jetty Swim.

 

SAVING THE JETTY

Busselton Jetty was in a poor state even before the major damaged inflicted by Cyclone Alby in 1978.

The loss galvanised the community, and through hard work and commitment led by BJECA (Busselton Jetty Environment and Conseervation Association) it was refurbished i 2011.

Contributions came from the State Government ($24 million), the then Shire of Busselton ($3.1 million) and BJECA ($1 million).

 

On the night of 4th April 1978, Cyclone Alby swept down the Western Australian coast causing severe damage to the Busselton Jetty.

As morning broke, residents who ventured to the beach found that the first 700m of the old jetty, the diving and swimming platforms had been broken up and swept onto the beach or left in sections in the bay.

The old 'Rotunda' section with a crane was left hanging in the middle of nowwhere. It remained in this position for many years where it was a place for the youth to swim to and hang out.

Eventually the sections were condemned and removed. An outcome of the disaster was the show of strength of the broad community support to maintain the remaining skeleton jetty which had amazingly remained intact.

A not for profit group now called the Busselton Jetty Inc, became the custodians of the jetty. The group operate the Busselton Jetty Train, Underwater Observatory and Interpretive Centre, with part of their ticket sales and fundraising contributing to the City of Busselton's ongoing maintenance program.
