Bunbury Cruise Port

The third largest city in Western Australia, Bunbury is a port that typically services the farming, mining, and timber industries here. Originally named Port Leschenault after French botanist Leschenault de La Tour, it started off as a military base (which didn't last long). Once the area was developed and its natural resources discovered, the town came into its own. With its population of 32,499 as of 2007, Bunbury is considered one of Australia's fastest growing cities. Bunbury's central business district can be found mostly on Victoria Street; Blair Street is the major road throughout the entire area, featuring plenty of shopping opportunities. One of the most striking features of the city center is the Bunbury Tower, also dubbed the "Milk Carton" because of its blue and white colors and distinctive shape. Listed below are a handful of our favorite experiences when visiting the cruise port of Bunbury, Australia:
