All about Bunbury
Bunbury is the third largest city in Western Australia and an easy drive south of the capital, Perth. It is often known as the City of Three Waters, as it is surrounded by the rumbling surf of the Indian Ocean to the west, the calm waters of Koombana Bay — where you can often spot bottlenose dolphins swimming freely — and the tranquil Leschenault Inlet. All this water makes Bunbury a popular destination for water activities with many spots for surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and boating.
Bunbury is also something of a creative hotspot. The city is home to the largest collection of street and public art in regional Australia. Wander the streets to spot urban art and quirky characters painted by local artists on 20 electrical boxes scattered through the city. Bunbury provides visitors with great shopping options, including an array of independent stores on popular Victoria Street. The city also enjoys a lively cafe culture, along with bars and some of Western Australia’s best restaurants.
What are the top things to do in Bunbury?

From here you will enjoy stunning 360-degree views of the coastline and surrounding areas, including the Bunbury Harbour, Koombana Bay, and the hinterland off in the distance.
