Bussleton is a city in the south west of Western Australia. It is famous for its jetty, the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere. The jetty extends almost 2 km into Geographe Bay, named after one of the ships in an 1801 French exploration of the area and known for its vast sea-grass fields and vibrant marine life. The Bussleton Jetty Marine Discovery Centre showcases the importance of Marine Parks in Australia and the diverse range of species that inhabit them: the relatively shallow Geographe Bay with its sea-grass, the open ocean and the extreme deep of the Perth Canyon, a river canyon, not unlike the famous Grand Canyon but, due to a rise in sea level thousands of years ago, now submerged and plunging as deep as 4 kilometers below the surface. The University of Western Australia collaborated with the Schmidt Ocean Institute which runs a deep sea research vessel, the Falkor which carries an ROV (remote operated vehicle) to study extreme depths. A three screen visual presentation was created to aid the education efforts at the centre. Guy Gross was commissioned to compose the original music after doing such a fantastic job with the similar installation for "Nobbies Visitors Centre" on Phillip Island.
