Asia Mega Tour 2026 - Day Twenty Eight - GREAT DAY Of Sunset Shooting At Gracetown Shoreline

2B came this morning and said he and 2.4 had found a great path to the south of our rental that he recommended for Wife and I to visit. So at about 5pm we set out. What transpired was a truly inspired photographic shoot with wonderful vistas to work with, great light, and a totally mellow atmosphere. 

It was funny because we had told #2 and 2B that we were really body tired and beat up, and needed to stay home and recuperate. Yet once we got out we were so entranced and intrigued that we were gone for two and half hours. 

Unlike the last two days, I didn't stick to one suggested technique but switched depending on what I was seeing.

Asia Mega Tour 2026 - Day Twenty Seven - Busselton Jetty

Today, we headed out for the town of Busselton and the famous Busselton Jetty. Busselton is one of the oldest communities in Western Australia. For the full history and town information here is the Wikipedia write up. Busselton Jetty was originally developed to provide services when Busselton was an active port. It is the longest wooden pier in the Southern Hemisphere, is over 1.8 kilometers long, and is now a major tourist attraction.

Once again, I was fully into photography lust mode. Today, I was using advice that I should put my camera on full automatic (under the theory that the camera computer is actually smarter than you are). I also kept it at one focal length (12) with the exception of the bird photos.

 Glad they clearly denote no cabbage or carrots because that is what I usually think of first when looking at a gelato place

Western Australia was known for its party culture which is sadly on the decline
