Hawka Posted July 10, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 10, 2016 You will actually dock at Busselton, I expect. A trip out to the end of the jetty and underwater observatory, and a really nice museum of old farming implements and household goods at the old butter factory were interesting. was going to say last time i was there there was a beach lots of rocks a river and no pier that i could see was wondering how they would get to the beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted September 7, 2016 #33 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Bit of misleading itinerary info by Princess. Definitely lists Margaret River as the port of call and doesnt even mention Busselton in the description.You will definitely tender at Busselton though. Margaret River area is also a popular surfing area but known for its shark populstion:eek: The itinerary for a cruise on the Emerald Princess, shows it starting in London (Southampton), and calling at Perth (Fremantle) and Margaret River (Busselton). I think it is fairly clear that the cruise starts in Southampton and not London and that it calls into Fremantle and Busselton. :) Looking through the brochure, every reference to Margaret River has Busselton shown in brackets.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 7, 2016 #34 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Princess always does that, they list the place of major interest with the port shown in brackets. Other examples are Bangkok (Laem Chabang) Ho Ch Minh City (Phu My), even Bali (Benoa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I have always read it, but I was responding (belatedly) to a post that said Princess was being misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was serious, I live here and think it has lots to offer the visitor. The National War Memorial, the National Library, the National galleries, the National Museum and Parliament House, all of which a free entry, and well worth a look.

Throwing a visit to Lake Burley Griffin, Teslstra tower, the Other Parliament House and the High Court and the zoo. The female Guts also like the shops at Civic.
