Bunbury Town

Location: Bunbury Town, Western Australia. This location actually is nearby to Lighthouse Lookout.

We reached Bunbury town about around noon time. The first stop we had in this town was Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre. We had a look at the centre, and was told that there is no dolphin sighted for today. We made the decision to skip this centre and proceed to the Lighthouse which is just around the corner.

When we reached the Lighthouse, it started to drizzling. It caused us not able to take photo for the lighthouse and make our way to the nearby beach. We saw some people there stand on the rock looking at the wave hitting the rock.

The wind was quite strong, making the wave hitting the rock hard. We really enjoying the wave and the strong wind. We did really enjoying the wind blowing onto our face, thus refreshen ourselves from the long tired drive. Not long after that, it started to drizzling again. It makes us to continue for our next stop.

Today, Bunbury is one of the Western Australia largest towns. However, the town was first sighted by French explorer Captain Louis de Freycinet from his ship, Casuarina in 1803. He named the area Port Leschenault after the expedition's botanist, Leschenault de la Tour. The bay was named Geographe after another ship in the fleet.
