Bunbury - Western Australia
TOUR THE SOUTH WEST IN COMFORT WITH :
Many people start their exploration of the area from the old railway station which now houses the Visitor Centre and the bus depot. Although the original building was burned down, the current structure dates from 1904 and is an excellent example of architecture of the period.
As with many places, Bunbury's heritage architecture is being spoiled by the development of modern buildings (monuments to official stupidity), but the Stirling Street Heritage Precinct remains largely intact. Little has changed here since the early 1900s.
Leschenault Homestead is one of the oldest houses in Bunbury and was constructed over a period of years from 1844 to 1874. Early construction consisted of wattle, newspapers and whitewash with pit sawn timber. Despite the importance of this structure it remains in private hands and is not open to the public.
There are many historically (if not architecturally) significant buildings in the area including King Cottage Museum and the rather striking lighthouse which guards the basalt rocks near Rocky Point. The lighthouse dates from 1959 but a join about 10 meters up indicates where new construction work was done on 1971. The light sits 25 meters above the ground and has a range of 27 kilometres. Other buildings of historic interest are: Former Boys School, Stephen and Arthur Sts. 1885. Residency, Stirling and Moore Sts. 1904. Rose Hotel, Victoria and Wellington Sts. 1865. Old Police Station, Stephen and Wittenoom Sts. 1905.
One of the most unusual features of the state's entire south west are the mangroves which sit very close to the centre of Bunbury. The mangrove stand is quite large and is the only one you will find south of Shark Bay many miles to the north.

BUNBURY WA WESTERN AUSTRALIA PART I OF II PARTS
The port city of Bunbury is the third largest city in Western Australia after Mandurah and Perth the state capital. It is situated 175 kilometres (109 mi) south of Perth's central business district (CBD). The port services the farming and timber industries of the south west originally connect via an extensive rail network.
Bunbury is situated 175 kilometres south of Perth, near the mouth of the Collie River at the southern end of the Leschenault Inlet, which opens to Koombana Bay and the larger Geographe Bay which extends southwards to Cape Naturaliste.
[edit] History
The first registered sighting of Bunbury was by French explorer Captain Louis de Freycinet from his ship the Casuarina in 1803. He named the area Port Leschenault after the expedition's botanist, Leschenault de la Tour. The bay was named Geographe after another ship in the fleet.
In 1829, Dr Alexander Collie and Lieutenant Preston explored the area of Bunbury on land. Later Lieutenant Governor Sir James Stirling visited the area and a military post was established. The area was renamed Bunbury by the Governor in recognition of Lieutenant Henry William St. Pierre Bunbury (1812-75), who developed the very difficult inland route from Pinjarra to Bunbury.[2]
[edit] Rail transport
See also: Wollaston, Western Australia#Transport
The Pinjarra to Picton Junction railway line was completed in 1893, connecting Bunbury to Perth, and also to the coal and mineral deposits and agricultural areas to the north and east. The famous railway roundhouse and marshalling yards located at what is now Bunbury Centrepoint shopping centre were a vital service centre for the steam engines of the day. The train station served as the terminal for the longest lasting named service in Western Australia - the Australind passenger train between Perth, transporting its first passengers on 24 November 1947 and connecting to a newly established bus network distributing passengers all over the South West.
By 1983, the railway into the city (closely following Blair Street's alignment) was considered an eyesore by the local council and developers, who wished to take advantage of the newly elected Burke Labor government's pledges to make Bunbury an alternative city to Perth.[citation needed] A new station was constructed at Wollaston 4 km to the southeast, and the last train to use the old station departed Bunbury on 28 May 1985 with the new terminal commencing operations the following day. The railway land was then sold and Blair Street realigned. The Australind passenger service was then substantially upgraded in 1987.
At present there are two departures and two arrivals at Wollaston every day of the week. The former train station is now the Bunbury Visitor Centre and is the main bus station for Bunbury City Transit services. It is also a stop for Transwa and South West Coach Lines bus services.
The local government of the City of Bunbury has a population of 32,499. Bunbury has sister-city relationships with Setagaya, Japan, and Jiaxing, China. In 2007 Bunbury was recognised as Australia's fastest growing city for 2005/06 period by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).[6][7] Bunbury's climate is similar to that of Western Australia's capital Perth.

The Bunbury Tower, often called the Milk Carton for its distinctive shape and blue-and-white colours, is the major feature of the city centre's skyline. It was built in 1983 by businessman Alan Bond. Also prominent are the old lighthouse and lookout tower in the Marlston Hill district, which has been a focus of the city's cultural and commercial growth since the late 1990s.
Bunbury is the home of the Golden West Network, a regional television network broadcasting to the state of Western Australia. GWN had its origins in Bunbury as Channel 3 in the late 1960s, and then purchased other stations from Kalgoorlie and Geraldton, as well as launching a satellite service in 1986 to form the current network. Bunbury houses the network headquarters and production facilities, with the Channel 3 transmitter located at Mt Lennard approximately 25 km to the east.
Regional television station WIN can also be received in Bunbury. WIN Television maintains an office and news bureau, however the station itself is not based there.

FIFO to Bunbury Vlog Ep.71 Road Trip Australia
We worked FIFO on a gold mine!
We’ve just finished up 2 months of work on a gold mine, in the goldfields of Western Australia.
We can’t get into specifics on which job and exactly where we worked as it has a strict social media policy but we can say that it was a FIFO roster being 4:1. We worked 10 hour days, 13 day fortnight for 4 weeks. Then we got one week off back in Perth. Fortunately for us, we managed to score Christmas week as our week back in Perth. Our friends Vic & Amanda made us feel so welcome joining them for the Christmas festivities, along with their friends.
Our contract was casual, and we only had to do 2 swings which worked out perfectly for us.
The work was construction????, which was very cruisey and we were both employed as electricians. We officially finished up at the end of January. Getting this job was good, it fitted in perfectly with what we were seeking and we met plenty of legends out on site.
Stockton Lake (Collie, WA)
Was a great campsite to spend our first few nights ‘officially back on the road’. Located approx 2 hours south/east of Perth and only an hour from Mandurah.
Plenty of space to spread about and it is DOG FRIENDLY. It is $8 per person, per night with toliets and bins around the campground.
Stockton lake use to be an old coal mine, hence the turquoise water. It is safe to swim in and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay here.
Next stop Bunbury, Busselton & surrounds!
After stockton lake, we headed towards Bunbury, but made had to make one important detour. To visit Gnomesville Amz had wanted to visit here since the start of our trip. It was quite amusing wandering around all the different gnomes. Alot more then we expected there to be.
We then made it to Bunbury. We headed into the town city and straight to the visitors centre. Currently Bunbury, is offering permits for self contained campers, to free camp, in a handful of designated spots around the town. We grabbed a permit and found a nice spot to park up for the night at Wyalup point.
With our camp-spot for the night locked in, we walked into town and roamed up and down the main street. Returning home via the lighthouse and along the beach. Our mates the Roving Russo's told us about a place that does half price pizza’s across town on Thursday nights. We looked it up on our maps and saw it was 10km away.
Weighing up our options, we agreed if we could get our bicycles going, we would ride there. Luckily after a few squirts of WD40 Kurt managed to unseize alot of the parts and getting them moving. We rode the 10kms there and back, turned out to be a great idea, as we got to see more of the city and foreshore.
The next day, we visited the popular Bunbury Farmers Market . We had been told by ALOT of people how good this place was, and well, it lived up to all the hype. WE LOVED IT! Stocking up both our fridges with heaps of fruit and veg, an assortment of meat, dips, cheeses, pastas etc. We even purchased some sneaky choc croissants for a post-shop snack, that were delish! We’ll definitely be stopping by here again.
