Bunbury - Stirling Street Good view from Boulter's Heights looking down Stirling Street, across port facilities and off the hills. Probably the best-known and most photographed view of Bunbury. That roundabout on the road is "new", as is the mid-road car parking. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Back Beach Viewed from the High School, this is the Bunbury "Back Beach". You can see the surf club rooms. A little to the left, on a clear day you can see Cape Naturaliste across the sea. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Lighthouse Looking almost north from Boulter's Heights. Can you see the lighthouse? A lighthouse has been on that site for many years. That one is fairly new. On that site these days is also a pub. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Council Offices The Bunbury Municipal Offices on Stephen Street looks great! Just down the road the original courthouse and post office have disappeared. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Old Convent On Wittenoom Street this rather attractive pink building is an Arts centre. I'm sure this used to be a Covent 40-odd years ago. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Railway Institute The Railway Institute building on Wittenoom Street. Not so many rail workers in town now, I guess. No more Bunbury loco and the Bunbury winter morning shrouded in stream train coal smoke. Still, there it is - still there! December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - High School Bunbury Senior High School sits just up and over Boulter's Heights. Each morning a stiff walk up the hill for the students. This is the front of the school. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - High School Another view of the front of the school. Apparently the front of the school is heritage listed. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - High School In the above photo, that wing on the lower floor on the right houses the school library. It did 45 years ago and still does today. Here is the front of the library. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - High School Viewed from the "beach" side of the school, here is the rear and part of the sports oval. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - ABC Studio On Wittenoom Street this is the current home of ABC in Bunbury. This building used to look different and in the 1960's housed the 6TZ-CI radio studios. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Government Building This lovely old building (corner Stephen & Wittenoom Streets) has been renovated and restored. It used to be the home of some government offices and the local bailiff! December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Victoria Street The main street - Victoria Street. You can see two very familiar shop names - Bon Marche and Boulter's. Bon Marche is now Mensland but Boulter's is still going strong after all these years ... like Johnnie Walker. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - City Mall Central Arcade running off Stephen Street west to Princep Street. And this view is looking west. An original survivor is Gomm's shoe shop up the distant end. Other shops come and go. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Old Technical School On Arthur Street near the barely recognisable town centre (from years ago) remains this part of the old Technical School. Now it's a dance studio. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - View Towards Port Again from Boulter's Heights, this is looking past the Bunbury Tower on the right of picture, towards the wharf area. December 2009
|
|
|
Bunbury - City Tower Part way going up Boulter's Heights, here is a view of the northern-ish end of town featuring the Bunbury Tower. December 2010 |
|
|
Bunbury - City Tower The Bunbury City officer tower viewed from Victoria Street, right in town. December 2010 |
|
|
Bunbury - Lord Forrest The Lord Forrest Hotel has been around 10-15 years. It's on Symmons Street, just off Victoria Street down towards the Burly. December 2010 |
|
|
Bunbury - Prince Hotel The Prince of Wales Hotel sits proudly on Stephen Street. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - The Burly The Burlington Hotel on Victoria Street. Once the most popular pub in town with its live music. "Be Early at the Burly". December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Rose Hotel The Rose Hotel with its ornate lattice work is an outstanding landmark. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Rose Hotel Another view of the Rose Hotel from Victoria Street complete with its white Christmas bow. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Old Train Station This is the old railway station in town. The track doesn't go as far as this now but the old building remains. This is the "road" side of the station. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Old Train Station Again the old railway station on the "track" side. Up this end is an Internet Cafe and a place where you can buy a cool drink after getting off the local bus from the new South Bunbury station. December 2009 |
|
|
Bunbury - Silos In the old days these buildings where a uniform grey, forbidding-looking wheat silos. The wheat was trained in, stored and eventually shipped out through the adjacent port. Rather than simply bulldoze the silos when their original purpose ended, some were left standing and converted into these apartments. Weeties for breakfast anyone? December 2010 |
|
|
Bunbury - Highway Hotel On the corner of Forrest Avenue and Spencer Street stands the Highway Hotel. I think this might have been built in the 1950's or earlier. Today it's still here and functioning nicely, although could do with a lick of paint. December 2010 |
|
|
Bunbury - Austral Parade This building is the Leschenault Keys - by the look of it a shopping centre but not the Coles or Woolies variety. Lovely open and sunny design. This is the corner of Austral Parade and King Road. December 2010 |
|
|
Bunbury - Parade Hotel The Parade Hotel hasn't changed much in decades. The outside is rather unimaginative but I recall the inside being quite palatable, especially the rear beer garden next to the estuary. December 2010 |
