DUNSBOROUGH
|
Mention Dunsborough and most people will
think of holidays.
It was judged to be Western Australia's top
tourism town in 1999 and it's easy to see
why.
Situated right on the sheltered waters of
Geographe Bay, and with a zillion tourist
attractions nearby, Dunsborough is one of
the best family retreats in the south west.
Whether you're into bushwalking, swimming,
snorkelling,

diving, fishing, photography, wineries, canoeing,
caves, sightseeing, whale watching, camel rides, or
pretty much anything else, Dunsborough can deliver.
Dunsborough is a small town, and as such doesn't
have some of the facilities that you'd find in the
larger centres. However, Dunsborough is only 24km
away from Busselton, which can provide you with everything
you need.
