After checking out of the Sebel (our accommodation on the outskirts of Busselton), we had
a coffee at the Goose, which is one of several restaurants near the
Busselton Jetty. We saw the little train that runs out along the
jetty, but the return trip takes about 45 minutes, and presumably you
have to add an hour to this if you visit the underwater
observatory.
So after our coffee, we headed in the direction of Perth, stopping for lunch in Mandurah where we had a good view of the dolphin that came into the estuary, presumably enticed by the food provided for it to eat (much splashing and jumping). Anything left over was taken by the pelican!

Our accommodation in Perth is quite
centrally located, in Victoria Av. The central location wasn't
particularly important, but car parking was, and frankly getting a
less-than-exorbitantly priced self-catering studio with parking in
Perth took some research. So the central location was a bonus.
We took a walk around the CBD area after arriving; yes, things
have got a bit busier since our time here, but there are still
occasional glimpses of the “big country town” to be had, at least
for those of us who are on the lookout for such things (such as, all
the shops except the supermarket close promptly at 6 pm).
