How to spend 24-hours in Busselton

Details

Curated selection of points

With crystal clear waters and a white sandy beach, making you wish you were there right now, Busselton should be an expensive glamour

destination. Thankfully it’s not. Located at pristine Geographe Bay, Busselton is that postcard picture. Its picturesque 30km stretch of foreshore has been snapped for countless landscape photographs – appearing in travel books and personal albums around the world.
The Good Egg Cafe is more than just a place to get your caffeine fix. It’s a collective workspace, culinary classroom and creative workshop with a kids’ play area and small retail space on the side. But what makes this cafe so special is that five per cent of all profits are donated to Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer, in honour of owner Deb Hallyburton’s late husband Brad who succumbed to the disease. We chat to this inspirational local about her favourite things to do and see while in Busselton.
