Description: Stretching 1.7 kilometres across the shimmering waters of Geographe Bay, the Busselton Jetty stands as one of the Southern Hemisphere's most remarkable engineering feats—and the railway that runs its length tells a story all its own. This richly detailed account traces the jetty's construction through the decades, its dramatic reckoning with Cyclone Alby, and its pioneering transformation into a solar-electric operation. Along the way, readers explore the vibrant marine ecosystem thriving beneath the rails, the wonders of the Underwater Observatory, and the ongoing conservation efforts shaping the jetty's future. A fascinating journey for railway enthusiasts, engineering buffs, and anyone drawn to the meeting place of iron and sea.
