So today we packed up and moved again. We motored from Manjimup to Bridgetown on a fairly nice road, then we turned onto the Nannup road and boy did things change! The nice road got a whole lot thinner although to be fair it did stay sealed. But then it went up hill, down dale and around the twist so much it was like being on a rollercoaster. Himself said it was a very pleasant drive with great scenery. I wouldn't know about that, I had my eyes closed most of the time, between blessing myself and every saint I could think of and a few I made up!!!!
Quaint little place is Nannup. It's biggest feature is that the road becomes much better from there on.
Arrived Busselton just on lunchtime, settled into our chosen park, then walked over the road to the famous Busselton Jetty and caught the little train out to the end of the jetty and went to the Underwater Observatory. The lass doing the tour certainly knew her stuff. Highly informative. Very clever of them to find a way to take you below the jetty and let you see how the marine life behaves. We saw all sorts of fish and corals and sponges etc, including a large school of tailor.

Well worth the walk over the road to see this. Himself will go back one day while we are  here and walk the 1.8km length of the jetty there and back (3.6kms) just to be able to say he walked the iconic Busselton Jetty.  I will watch and cheer from a comfortable chair somewhere on the shore!
