Bunbury is known as the ‘city of three waters’, surrounded by the Indian Ocean, Koombana Bay and the Leschenault Inlet. This is a water-lover’s paradise with fishing, crabbing, diving, white sandy beaches, sailing and kayaking. Bunbury is also known for its wild dolphins that come close to the beach at Koombana Bay. Bunbury was settled by Europeans in 1838 and the Koombana Bay whalers were a source of initial prosperity. Today the port is the main outlet for the timber and mining industries.
