This relationship is cultural with people from both towns enjoying community exchanges and annual school exchanges. On occasion special interest exchanges have also occurred such as the visit from traditional Japanese gardeners who established a Japanese garden located next to the City of Busselton Library. The Sister City relationship was reaffirmed for a further 20 years in a ceremony in 2016.


photo ID#: 4809581 - The Courthouse in the Busselton ArtGeo Cultural Precinct lock-up built by Henry Yelverton (of Busselton jetty fame) in 1861 is a cold, dismal corridor of gaol cells where prisoners charged for crimes like petty theft, vagrancy, wife beating or drunk and disorderly conduct were confined. Magistrates presided over court proceedings, so no capital offences were heard in Busselton and sentences were usually short. But the cell with bars and shackles evokes an era when Aboriginal people were subjected to particularly harsh conditions.
