The Brussleton Walf at 2.1km long is an impressive piece of engineering. It was almost destroyed in 1985 when a cyclone made an attempt to dismantle it, leaving it in a poor state. The government condemned it and made moves to demolish the remaining structure. The local people and businesses recognising the attraction the jetty had for tourism raised funds and over the next several years returned the jetty to it's former splender. The jetty has a rail track extending along its length and an underwater observatory at the end.
Next stop, the Yarloop Workshops. These workshops supported the Millars timber company between 1895 to 1972. They are left as if just abandoned, an amazing place to visit. The workshops could produce anything from boots to a complete steam engine.
And somebody likes to make pipe organs.
