On my first vfisit a few weeks ago, the Centre was still closed due to Covid restrictions but still contactable electronically. The information booklet that I required was obtained from the Centre and left at Council Reception for collection. Thanks Sue, friendly and efficient service. Last week I called in to obtain additional information for a proposed WA trip, great selection available for my area of interest. Definitely worth visiting if a local or tourist to Bunbury.

Koombana Bay is a beautiful, clean & picturesque Ocean bay, that provides so much to the City of Bunbury & its Region, with expansive safe beach areas, fishing areas, recreational boating, Dolphin Centre, and supports Public Jetties, Marinas, and the busy Bunbury Shipping Port. The Bunbury City Council & the Bunbury Port Authority are to be commended for all that they do to protect and maintain Koombana Bay.

See over 60 varieties of native animals in an open parkland setting. Feed the birds in the walk through aviaries, pat the kangaroos and stroll through the gardens. Light snacks and refreshments are available to purchase or bring a picnic to enjoy.

On our trip to Bundury wildlife we when out for lunch there. The food was delicious but a little on the small side though.

Back Beach is one of this southern city's most popular beaches. It's great for paddling or swimming; you can also fish, and cook you catch on the BBQs. Back Beach is on Geographe Bay, named after the early French explorers. Bunbury is not known for its surf, so the attempt to create surfable waves with the Airwave project created interest.

If you love a beautiful walk, or you are a orchid enthusiast, or even wildflowers in general, Manea park is a beautiful place to walk around. Enjoy a peaceful stroll and enjoy the nature, you might even come face to face with a friendly kangaroo. It doesn't take overly long to walk the trail, but it will go quickly because you will enjoy the scenery along the way. here are some of my highlights from different times of the year

We were not sure where the entrance was and happened to park at the entrance where the paperbark trees were. Well maintained boardwalks passing the paperbarks until we reached the lookout shelter to sight the birdlife. We later found out that the main car park is where the Wildlife Park is situated. The whole loop is 2kms long and is totally flat and suitable even for prams/wheelchairs. Hence, the Big Swamp Walk is for everyone to enjoy. We saw black swans, purple swamp hens, some other water birds and a few duck varieties. Being Parkrunners, we were also excited to find that the Bunbury Parkrun's home ground is at The Big Swamp Park. We would like to come back in a different season of the year or perhaps, even at dawn or dusk to observe other species of wildlife.
