10th Jan

This morning we went to Busselton to check out their famous wharf & underwater observatory.

This is as close as we could get as they were refurbishing the jetty and it was closed to the public. According to the sign this was to be completed mid 2010.

So we headed off to the local information centre to see what else Busselton contained. The lady there told us that apart from a museum and art gallery everything else was out of town.
We therefore decided to go to the next town, Bunbury, for the day.
At Bunbury we checked out the spiral tower for 360 degree views of Bunbury and then went to the Dolphin Discovery Centre. Despite being told that dolphins rarely come to the beach in the afternoon, one turned up within ten minutes of our arrival.
Later in the day we went on a eco cruise to view dolphins and did in fact see dolphins. The guide also showed us a school of Bream which has apparently been hanging around a rocky point for a week or so. There must have been 100 pan size bream in this school which were just swimming in this small area in one big mass and even the boat did not overly disturb them.
