Bunbury Scenic Running Tour and Exploration

Exploring Bunbury on foot is the perfect way to soak in all its charm and surprises. So let’s get some exercise, fresh air and stories as we run from one site to the next on a carefully selected 10km running route around Bunbury's famous three waters. We will stop often for stories about the places we discover and to get some great pics along the way. We will go low, we will go high(lots of climbs)!
Take a running tour and find out for yourself just how much fun discovery can be in this stunning city when you keep on moving!

Meeting Point

Blair Street Foreshore Carpark

Bunbury WA 6230, Australia

You will find the guide in the Blair Street Foreshore Carpark (or beside it sunning himself at the edge of the Leschenault Inlet) before our run. Being tall and looking the runner type he's easy to spot.
This location is also beside the rather spectacular Koolambiddi Woola Youth Precinct.

What to expect:

Duration: between 2 hours and 2 hours, 30 minutes

Leschenault Inlet

Koombana Dr, Bunbury, 6230, Western Australia

The Leschenault inlet throws up lots for us to admire and reflect upon as we pass it by. It hasn't always been the way you see it today. Hear about the dramatic changes experienced here in a small passage of time!

Mangrove Boardwalk

Koombana Dr, Bunbury, 6230, Western Australia

Reopening soon this is an enchanting part of the run as we make our way through these wiley, ancient residents of the Inlet. Fortunately, the platform overlooking the mangroves provides a great view too, so there are several ways to enjoy these beauties if the actual boardwalk is not opened yet when we have our tour.

5 minutes

Koombana Bay

Koombana Dr, , Bunbury, 6230, Western Australia

Koombana Bay has surprised a few in the past with a history of shipwrecks occurring here - some call it Shipwreck Bay! But the meaning of 'Koombanah' is much nicer than that. This bay has a knack for shimmering under the morning sun and is where we are most likely to spot some dolphins during the run.

Pass by without stopping

Jetty Baths

Jetty Road Bunbury, 6230, Bunbury, Western Australia

Jetty Baths is a quiet little spot that comes alive in the summer season with an enviable restaurant or free bbq frontage. It's part of the reason Bunbury became known as 'The Brighton of the Colony' in the 1930's and is a beautiful hidden gem along the run!

Pass by without stopping

Wardandi Memorial Park

Cnr Upper Esplanade & Wellington Street, Near Bunbury Back Beach, Bunbury, 6230, Western Australia

An opportunity to reflect and look across the sea from this precious site

5 minutes

Boulters Heights

Haig Crescent, Bunbury, 6230, Western Australia

A staircase and loop road climb provide sweeping views en route and upon arrival to this signal hill in the heart of Bunbury. Think panorama and thank Alfred Boulter!

5 minutes

Marlston Hill Lookout Tower

Apex Drive, Marlston Hill, Bunbury, 6230, Western Australia

Why stop at one lookout? This one gets us closer to our cafe destination and takes us up some of the steepest steps in Bunbury - these are before the actual lookout tower! It's also a beautiful place to wrap up our lighthouse saga.
