South West

The Hidden Secrets of WA’s Holiday Hotspot

 

There’s another layer to a lot of your favourite southern sights. Did you know that the Busselton Jetty once had a diving board? Bunbury a drive-in cinema? Or that, in 1982, Denmark was the host of an International Clown Convention? No joke.

 

There’s even a real message in a bottle to uncover, written by two young men in 1924 and hidden in the wall of a Margaret River home for over 90 years. You can read the full missive at the Margaret River Historical Society.

 

These stories are just the beginning.
