There's been an entry fee since 1989.<br />Have a read of the history here if you like http://www.busseltonjetty.net/Jetty-History.aspx , it's actually quite interesting... the jetty itself was almost completely destroyed all of it bar the skeleton of the jetty in 1978 and would you believe, they're in the process of adding yet another 92metres in length onto the end of it! Because 1.8km just isn't enough apparently!Oz Troopershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344423836627792202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481262256031262936.post-10812975213646768272011-05-25T12:28:19.004+10:002011-05-25T12:28:19.004+10:00Paying an entrance fee to walk onto a jetty seems ...Paying an entrance fee to walk onto a jetty seems strange.
