Bunbary

How would you define your region?

Bunbury is a coastal city in the Australian state of Western Australia, approximately 175 kilometres south of the state capital, Perth. It is the state's third most populous city after Perth and Mandurah, with a population of approximately 75,000.  The beaches are great in summer and there are plenty of parks and gardens to enjoy all year round.  Mind you winter can be cold….depending on what you like!!!

What I would like to see in Bunbury is a return to a simpler life:-

  • Picnics

  • Electronic free days

  • Playing board games

  • Spending time with family and friends

  • No more 2tiered society and the freedom of body autonomy

  • I would like to give back to society and help others in whatever form that may take

What is your region famous for?

The South West of West Australia is well known for its wines, cheeses, and eating establishments. Bunbury is the gateway to the South- West with its fabulous beaches, winerys and forests.
