Sitting on the side of the Busselton Foreshore Parade is a bust of French explorer Nicolas Baudin that was publicly unveiled in 2005. The monument is a tribute to the Baudin expedition of two ships with a small team of botanists and zoologists who explored and mapped the coast of Australia between 1800-1804. The artist of the sculpture is Peter Gelenscer, who included an informational plaque describing the Baudin and the expedition. The backdrop of the beach with golden sand and turquoise water is an added bonus.
