Not a market in the weekly sense, the Bunbury Farmers Market is open seven days a week to enjoy!
You’ll find it at the corner of the Australind Bypass and Vittoria Road, and it’s recommended to anyone who cares about where their produce comes from.
The fruit and vegetables, cheese, meat, jams, dips and wealth of speciality ingredients is sourced from hundreds of local growers, makers and farmers . There’s also top-notch prepared food and drinks freshly made each day, like pies, quiches, cakes, sushi, smoothies, yoghurts coffee and a big menu of meals to heat and eat. Must visit!

Sightseeing
Beautiful beach and shallow (perfect for kiddos). Plus in summer they put up lots of shade sails. Large boat themed kids playground with zipline and water play area. Walking distance from the Dolphin Discovery Centre so plenty of dolphin sight-seeing opportunities since we've lived here!

Perfect morning or evening stroll along the ocean. Low tide allows for rock pools and play areas for kids. Discover the remnants of the old swimming pool on the beach! Tuck into the backbench cafe right on the water for a bite.

Bumburys best kept secret! A roughly 5 km walk through the southern most mangroves in the world. Local favourite and for the kids who love exploring. You often see water birds here and its a known birding location (just nearby are the osprey nesting sites if you look closely!).

Incredible space and so much to occupy the kids. Huge shipwreck playground with water spraying whale tail (amazing in the hot of summer). Enjoy a beverage at Shelter Brewery right next door. Train down the Jetty to the underwater observatory is a favourite activity with our kids.
