I arrived in Bunbury, not knowing what to expect. Friends and Australians told me to by pass the small town. To my delight, l found a wonderful hotel called the Lighthouse Beach Resort on Carey Street, the owner sent a Limo to collect me from the train station. I have a beautiful room with a view of the Indian Ocean and took a wonderful trip out to see the Dolphins. Bunbury had many fantastic restaurants and also a coffee strip, an internet cafe and a few interesting pubs, lots of them with music. Spent a few days there before leaving to travel North.
- Pros:.Very friendly people.
- Cons:.Tourist office were not very helpful..
- In a nutshell:Worth seeing if only for the unspoilt beaches and the restaurants.

Dolphins are such beautiful creatures aren't they? Would love to visit this part of Oz.
This will be one of my stops after the big Darwin Meet. Thanks for the tips. Gillybob greetings
I agree with you Louise... the dolphin experience is better in Bunbury than at Monkey Mia... and the wine is cheap :~)
My husband is in Bunbury tonight, so I just wanted to see what the place was like. Doesn't seem too bad, unless you hang out with the bikers!!!!!!
Great page!!! We hope to get there in a couple of months...I hope we see some dolphins too!!! :)
Finally finished reading & rating these tips after many interruptions. Glad you enjoyed it Louise! We only passed through briefly on our way south on a very windy afternoon so it didn't leave a good impression on us.
Louise, may many happy returns of the day. Wishing you a happy birthday and great time. Greetings from India. Your travel pages are really informative. Nice phtographs and tips.
ride a dolphin and swim with the bike..ooops! sorry... the other way around! lovely!
