BUNBURY, seaport and municipal town (Pop. 1931, situated on the south-west coast of Western Australia 90 m. S. of Fremantle and 115 m. (by rail) from Perth. The climate is equable and bracing (mean ann. temp.: 68°-54° F; ay. ann. rainfall: about 38 in., mainly in winter). The bay (Koombana) on which it stands is open to the sea and the harbour is liable to silting. A granite mole and a timber jetty afford 5,000 ft. berthing space with railway facilities and depths of 15-27 ft. The hinter land of Bunbury is noted for its timber (mainly jarrah). The sup plies of this are diminishing, but wheat, wool and fruit (mainly apples) are grown. Bunbury is also an outlet for a good deal of coal from the Collie field (4o m. by rail).
