COLLIE & SURROUNDS

Our next destination was Collie, a mining town, still inland and quiet, from this we were able to drive to Bunbury one day, a lovely town of about 33,000 souls, on the coast, another smaller lighthouse and some delightful views from the viewing platforms. From the newness of some of the housing Bunbury has experienced growth over the last 5 to 10 years and is really full of services, some of which we took advantage of.
The Dolphin Discovery Centre and interaction zone was very informative, we were there in the afternoon and so missed the live dolphins, but we watched the stunning displays in the 3D theatre and 360 deg. surround theatre was spellbinding.  Then we interacted with the various sea creatures in the tanks, sea horses, baby octopus, marron, crayfish, shrimps, turtles, various brightly coloured finned fish, swimming among the coral, including nemos, sea stars, anemone, learning lots about them from the helpful volunteers and attendants.
