LIFE’S BETTER AT BUNBURY

ust under 2 hours by car south of Perth, the seaside resort of Bunbury offers a gateway to Australia’s South West with its exhilarating biodiversity and eclectic recreational pursuits.

EXPLORE THE OUTDOORS

Take a short walk up to the Marlston Hill Lookout, where a panoramic 360-degree view of the City of Three Waters (a reference to the Indian Ocean, Koombana Bay and Leschenault Inlet) awaits.

Keep your peepers peeled for the Bunbury Lighthouse, which is distinguished by its black and white chequered exterior. Sited at its current spot since 1971 — the original lighthouse was constructed in 1870 with wood but increased trade and traffic over the years made alterations mandatory — it remains the landmark of Bunbury.

Or, head to the Big Swamp conservation wetlands 1km south of Bunbury city centre. A favourite of bird enthusiasts — here you can spot more than 60 species of bird life, including the white-faced heron and Australasian grebe — it offers several lookouts, one of which is a wooden boardwalk through paperbarks!

MEET THE DOLPHINS

For an intimate experience, hop on for a Swim with the Dolphins Tour. In addition to snorkelling equipment and wetsuits, this 3-hour adventure also includes an experienced guide and trained volunteers who will share knowledge about dolphins and other marine life in the bay (https://cutt.ly/BnOAfun). Not thrilled about getting wet? A 90-minute Dolphin Eco Cruise allows you to view the dolphins in their natural habitat playing, feeding, sleeping or frolicking.

All this is complemented by the immersive experience at Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre. Here, themed fish and coral aquariums offer interactive displays, feeding programmes as well as other fun activities that reveal more about Koombana Bay and its environment and history.

UPDATE YOUR JEWELLERY COLLECTION Shopping in Bunbury is a memorable experience for its array of indie boutiques hidden in old warehouses, downside streets, alleyways, and arcades. Malls in the CBD also feature an extensive tenant mix such as department stores stocked with leading local fashion labels, and supermarkets offering fresh produce and delicious gourmet treats and just-baked goods.

If you love a bit of bling, pop into Madeline’s Jewellery By Design (www.madelines.com.au). Owner and head jeweller Madeline Duffy is the go-to for stylish and modern pieces she custom-designs and handcrafts using Fairtrade gold (and she’s the only one in Bunbury to do so!). Her works, which range from wedding bands to earrings, also feature conflict-free diamonds. These have been carefully and stringently selected from trusted and ethical sources, and abide by the Kimberley

Madeline also specialises in pearls, exclusive diamonds including rare and world-renowned Argyle pink diamonds, gold and silver jewellery, and more. Mail order is available to Singapore. For details, contact her at mobile: +61 409 292 453, or email: madelinesjbd@hotmail.com.

Bunbury is an exciting upcoming city - the second largest in Western Australia. With a new international airport opening soon just 40 minutes’ drive away with direct flights to Melbourne and Singapore! We are on the doorstep to the Margaret River wine region which is one of Australia’s tourism destinations and we have three world class golf courses right here. Why wouldn’t you choose to live here?

GO ON, DIP YOUR TOES IN

With its unique array of pristine natural attractions, premium wineries and craft breweries, handmade arts and crafts, and friendly locals, the Margaret River region is a dream come true for holidaymakers craving for quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

A 3-hour drive south of Perth, the Margaret River region is home to the tranquil waters of Geographe Bay in the north, the ancient cave-carved Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, as well as the rugged magnificence of Cape Leeuwin in the south. Blessed with a mild Mediterranean maritime climate, the four seasons are gently defined in this relaxed and soulful corner of Australia.

YALLINGUP

Majestically nestled on a ridge and framed by the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, Yallingup is a seaside town that’s bred the world’s most avid surfers. Watch them challenge the swells and barrels of the Indian Ocean from the gorgeous beaches of Smiths, Three Bears, Rabbits, and Injidup.

The tranquil crystal-clear lagoon at Yallingup Beach is a favourite spot for snorkelling and swimming — and perfect for cooling down after trekking the rugged cliffs that look out to the nearby Cape to Cape Track.

Yallingup is also where many artisans — inspired by its lovely surrounds — have set up galleries, studios and craft workshops. Throw in delicious food, wine and craft beer, it’s little wonder Yallingup topped Australian Traveller magazine’s 100 Best Towns in Australia issue (2019).

DUNSBOROUGH

Located on the beckoning turquoise banks of Geographe Bay and Ngari Capes Marine Park, Dunsborough offers one of the world’s most picturesque spots. Get over to the white sands here — pick from several beaches — that stretch outwards to the calm, clear blue, where you can

indulge in diving, snorkelling, kayaking and other water sports. Or, hit the beachfront cycling trails and walking paths along the bay.

Among Dunsborough’s top sights is the LeeuwinNaturaliste National Park. Along the way, check out the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse — this also marks the starting point of the iconic 135km Cape to Cape Track walking trail. Make your way back to town and soak up the bustling vibe at wine bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants.

BUSSELTON

Known as the “events capital of Western Australia”, Busselton is an impressive waterfront precinct with its 1.8km jetty at the heart of life here. The local calendar is filled with sporting and cultural activities such as Ironman Western Australia and Busselton Jetty Swim. Seaside cafes, kiosks, bars and restaurants give way to bike paths, large shady grassed areas, adventure play spaces and a beautiful beach.

Take a stroll (or the train) to the end of Busselton Jetty, and drop in at the Underwater Observatory to admire marine life. The Observatory is one of only 10 ocean aquariums in the world! But if you’re yearning to meet bigger creatures, whale-watching is available from September to December with Naturaliste Charters (https://www.whales-australia.com.au).
