Bunbury Talk To Me

Hi people of Bunbury

How is it Down there ?

What made you move there ?

Is anybody thinking mmmmm....what have we done ?

Are they building.....buildings ?

Cant afford a Perth house and Bunbury sounds like the next best option it just sound s and looks.....local, you know...nice :wink:

Its either there or some where south in New South Wales but all my research and visits have been on W.A

Bunbury is okay, but I'd probably choose busselton. Or even Albany or Esperance. Near Margaret river. Small town, and that comes with good and bad. Don't know what work would be like.

Bunbury is a very good option. As you say, a whole lot cheaper than Perth, and you get a lot more house for your dollar. It has everything you need in regards to shopping, health facilities, public and private schools, college and university, parks and sporting facilities, beaches, etc, etc.

Have a look at:

Bunbury is a great place to live.

High growth rates, plenty of opportunities to work or invest in a diverse region. As Mrsmac has pointed out facilities are first class. Only 2 hours by train or car (or fly if you wish).

Coast line is unique with endless beaches with some that you can drive on to find a kilometre or two of beach to yourself.

Active cultural and sporting community. Every pastime is catered for. Fishing (boat, beach, river and inland lakes/dams), diving, surfing, bush walking, mountain biking, etc

Even caters for underwater hockey if you have the inclination.

Economy is based primarily on service industries supporting the local mineral processing and farming economy. Big retail (some 24 hour per day), medium enterprise and small businesses abound. Emerging opportunities in tatoo removal and modification

.

Hinterland is spectacular with a number of National Parks close by.

Climate is cooler than Perth, but warmer than Albany. Albany and Esperance are fantastic towns in spectacular coastal settings but are more isolated than Bunbury. Albany is 4.5hrs, and Esperance over 7 hours drive from Perth. Margaret River/ Busselton are a comfortable day trip form Bunbury. Go for lunch and return home to Bunbury for dinner. Go to the Entertainment Centre and catch a world class show before making for home in your CBD, suburban, semi-rural or completely rural home no more than 30min drive away. Great for treechangers and seachangers that dont want to give up the advantages of city living.

If you like to read during the day while it is drizzling outside. Live in beautifiul Albany.

If you like to be disconnected from the entire civilised world (and you are rich enough not to need paid work) in a spectacular coastal setting. Live in spectacular Esperance

If you want more choices. Live in Bunbury (or thereabouits)
