A must stop! We’ve been to this region so many times and only just discovered this spot! The rays are unbelievable-some are massive and so friendly. If you’ve never pet a stingray, you must! A few other visitors brought fish to feed the rays and it made all the difference.

This is an amazing investment for the Augusta community. It makes whale watching tours so much easier, the boat ramps, parking and facilities are amazing. The water is so clear you can see fish and stingrays in the water and you can fish off the marina rocks. Excellent.

This was a happenchance stop, while my friend had a facial in Dunsborough. The opshop was open, bright and cheery volunteers and I picked up some bits and pieces. But what was really nice, was that I got to chat to local people, discuss the township and where it was heading. Also found someone who had come from my hometown on the other side of Australia-always the case for sure! A great respite for a tired traveller.

The historic Moreton Bay fig tree was planted in 1896. (There is some debate whether it was actually originally 4 trees that merged over time. The tree is iconic and has heritage protection. Next to the Moreton bay fig trees are 2 Norfolk pines which are the tallest in Busselton. The rose garden has 69 varieties. The historic building -Ithaca was built. in 1896 and welcomes guests to stay.
Stayed at the Ithaca and were told the history of the tree and the original building. Huge and beautiful tree.

We walked down the rocks closer to the water. so calming & relaxing just by sitting there getting splashed here & there. :)

This was a very pretty and not well known spot on the coast. The road in was fine but the path down to the rocks not well defined but OK, This is also known as the Indijip Natural Spa as the rocks provide a small pool and surf for the bubbles. Well worth visiting. Take the Wyandup Road just south of the Canal Rocks.

In 1857 Ellen and Alfred Bussell chose the site of their new home. Sheltered from the winter storms, the site had access to fresh water and was surrounded by fertile soil. Over the decades the house was built in stages by ticket-of-leave convicts, deserting seamen and local Noongars. The Ellensbrook venture was successful, with income derived from the sale of beef, butter and cheese. Much of the success was due to the practical skills, energy and sound management of Ellen. Alfred and Ellen left Ellensbrook in 1865. Between 1871 and 1877 Ellensbrook was managed, and the homestead extended, by the eldest of their five daughters, Fanny. Later, the second daughter Edith made Ellensbrook her permanent home. In 1899 she established the Ellensbrook Farm Home for Aboriginal Children. The Home continued for 17 years during which time Edith continued the tradition of extending the main building. The Noongar name for the locality is Mokidup, and it was a traditional summer camping spot for thousands of years.
We decided to do the circular walk starting at the Ellensbrook Cottage. Seeped in history, the cottage is just lovely and it was extremely interesting to learn all about Ellen and Alfred Bussell, their family and life at Ellensbrook. After half an hour here exploring we started our walk and three hours later we returned. We enjoyed this walk immensely as we started at the cottage, saw the cave, walked through Peppermint trees and then ended with a 3km coastal walk. Great morning adventure!!!????????♀️????????♂️

If you enjoy the rumble of a dirt road - easy for 2WD - and some special views, jump out at Skippy Rock and follow a 200m easy walk north to see some very cool bits of geology as well as the sea views.
