Traveling To Australia

by Ada Denis

Bunbury and the South West arena of Western Australia (or WA) is one of the world’s good points to live, with a Mediterranean mood, sandy-white beaches, glorious native forests and all the infrastructure required of a modern western society.

Settled 175km south of Perth, the city and its engaged suburban areas have a population of 52,000 and Bunbury is one of Australia’s fastest growing cities. Bunbury is the commercial hub to WA’s “South West”, an area that is home to the Margaret River wine part and major coal, alumina and mineral sands industries; a region that boasts around 8,000 businesses and a GDP of over $5 billion.

Western Australia is Australia’s tallest state, comprising about one-third of Australia’s land mass and taking over 2.5 million square kilometres in area. WA is divided into 10 territorial areas - the South West, Mid West, North West, Peel, Wheatbelt, Great Southern, Goldfields-Esperance, Pilbara, Gascoyne and Kimberley.
