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.

Photo Story - Bunbury Museum April 2013
The Bunbury Museum project is up and running. The City of Bunbury has begun work on the site selectecd by Council, which is the historic Paisley Centre in the heart of the CBD. The building has its own history as a former school, technical education college, music comedy theatre, visitor centre restaurant and dance school. Have a look at a brief video showing the site in Arthur Street, next to Centrepoint Shopping Centre, and including some design concepts visualising its exhibition space and collection workroom. While work progresses on restoring the building, with Lotterywest assistance, the Museum Curator is developing a collection and exhibitions to tell our story of Bunbury's fascinating heritage.
A DAY IN THE BIG SWAMP BUNBURY WA
Bunbury, Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Population: 57,744 (Urban) [1] (27th)
• Density: 396/km² (1,025.6/sq mi)
[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.
[edit] Bunbury Historical Society's King Cottage Museum
King Cottage was built around 1880 by Henry King was owned by his family until 1923 when it was sold to the Carlson family. In 1966 it was purchased by the City of Bunbury and subsequently leased to the Bunbury Historical Society. The rooms of the cottage are furnished to fit the period from 1880s to the 1920s. The artifacts displayed are part of the Society's collection reflecting the way of life for a family in Bunbury during that period. [3]
South West Western Australia on a budget
One of the worries about taking a holiday of a lifetime is that it is going to cost you the earth, but in south west Western Australia that needn't be the case.
This video gives some ideas to those who need to watch their wallets, for example:
Climb the Gloucester Tree
The Gloucester Tree is in the Gloucester National Park, a short drive from Pemberton which is three hours south of Perth.
It offers sensational views over the tall timber forests around Pemberton.
Once used as a fire lookout, today the 61 metre high Gloucester Tree is one of Pemberton's best loved tourism attractions -- and if you make it to the tree's lofty crown you're rewarded with a certificate to commemorate your feat, available from the Visitor Centre.
The karri is the tallest tree species in Western Australia and the third tallest in the world. It can grow up to 90 metres in height over a period of about 100 years.
The Gloucester Tree is part of a trilogy of Karri tree towers which are open to the public. The others include the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree and the Diamond Tree.
The Gloucester Tree was named after the Duke of Gloucester who visited in 1946.
Bibbulmun Track
The award-winning Bibbulmun Track is Western Australia's long-distance walk trail.
The world-class, 965 kilometre track stretches from Kalamunda to Albany, passing through the rustic townships of Dwellingup, Collie, Balingup, Pemberton, Northcliffe, Walpole and Denmark.
You can join - and depart - the track at any of these towns, and many other scenic spots such as Mundaring Weir, Beedelup Falls and the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, meaning you can tackle the trail for however long you please.
Take a short day stroll, or rest or replenish overnight in a luxury hotel or bed and breakfast along the way.
But to really put your tootsies to the test - and for a true wilderness adventure - hike the entire track and join the elite group of 'end-to-enders'.
It will take you around six to eight weeks and there are 48 natural timber and iron shelters to camp at along the way.
All ages are welcome, meaning the Bibbulmun Track is ideal for family adventure holidays.
The track takes in some of the most spectacular and untamed scenery in Western Australia, coiling through enchanting natural forests of Jarrah, Marri, Karri, Wandoo and Tingle.
The best time to walk the Bibbulmun Track is Autumn or Spring. If you pack a parka, you can also trek in winter, but avoid Summer - heat and bushfires can be hazardous.
Land based Whale Watching
Prepare to be mesmerized by these gentle giants as they make their way along the coast during migration.
In late April, they travel from the food-rich southern ocean to breeding grounds in the warm northern waters.
Then, in August, they return south to the cold seas to grow and mature.
There are many whale-watching cruises available as well as plenty of land-based lookouts.
In Western Australia you're most likely to spot a humpback, southern right or blue whale. The best time to observe these serene mammals is at midday, when the sun is directly overhead.
Albany is a haven for humpback and southern right whales, which mate and calve off the south coast.
From July to October whales can be spotted frolicking and playing in King George Sound, Albany.
This area is famous for its whaling heritage and is not uncommon to see whales playing only a few hundred metres from the station where they once were processed in vast numbers.
The old whaling station has now been transformed into a fascinating interactive whale museum.
Drug Aware Happy Bunbury Film Project (720)

April 2015 - South Western Australia
This video shows the 9 days journey 16 students from Australia, Switzerland, England, Netherlands, Finland, United States, Germany, Italy and Canada.
South Western Australia is an amazing place to be, beautiful, vast, and colourful. We covered 2450 km by going through Hyden, Esperance (Cape Le Grand), Bremer Bay, Albany, Denmark, Margaret River, Yallingup and Dunsborough, Busselton, to close the circle in Perth.
Great thanks to Josh, for letting me use his camera, to Kara and Kiah for two unbelievable nights on great farms, and to all those 15 travellers who are an endless source of inspiration.
Currently studying at The University of Western Australia on exchange from HEC Montreal, I'm creating one video per month about my journey.
The song is Drifters, by Patrick Watson, from the album Close to Paradise. I do not own any rights for the music.

Behind the Scenes with Kaarla Kaatijin - 2013
In a partnership with the Western Australian Museum, and supported
by first time project partner Clough Limited, Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company presents Kaarla Kaatijin by Zac James ... a traditional dreamtime story re-told in a contemporary way.
A behind the scenes look at the 2013 production of Kaarla Kaatijin.
Kaarla Kaatijin (which in Noongar means 'to understand fire') is the first story in a trilogy of productions centred around Noongar language and culture.
The story follows the plight of the birds and animals of the land suffering an endless, icy winter. Together they undertake a dangerous and brave mission to catch 'Kaarla' (fire) and bring it back to warm the land once more. Rich in storytelling and beautifully written characters, Kaarla Kaatijin builds on Yirra Yaakin's excellent reputation for high quality Aboriginal theatre for young people. This enchanting Western Australian story celebrates local culture and heritage in a refreshingly youthful and vibrant way.
Kaarla Kaatijin was commissioned by Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company and the AWESOME International Arts Festival for Bright Young Things, with its world premiere on 6 October 2012, at The Bird Hide Outdoor Theatre, Perth Cultural Centre.

The Peregrinator: Western Australian Museum
If you've watched my previous videos, you know that I love museums! There's just something about museums that excites me. Looking at 19th Century paintings or objects from the Renaissance and imagining what life would be like during those times create a sort of incandescent joy within me. So when I was at Perth, I decided to visit the Western Australian Museum. There was an exhibition about wedding dresses and it was pretty amazing :)
