Highlights
- Leschenault Inlet - 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 in a small passage of time!
- Mangrove Boardwalk - Reopening soon, and hopefully by now, this is an enchanting part of the run as we make our way…

- Mangrove Boardwalk - Reopening soon, and hopefully by now, this is an enchanting part of the run as we make our way through these wiley, ancient residents of the Inlet… whilst keeping our feet dry and out of the mud!
- Koombana Bay - Koombana Bay has surprised a few in the past with a history of shipwrecks occurring here - some called 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.
- Jetty Baths - Jetty Baths is a quiet little spot that comes alive in the summer season, as it did when David Dickson - Bunbury’s first Olympic and Commonwealth Games medalist trained in these very waters. Hard to imagine modern athletes being happy with this spot now, but it still works for happy families! Oh and there is a restaurant we run past here to get our tummies grumbling.
- Marlston Hill Lookout Tower - Having a view of Bunbury’s famous three waters (and more) is best done from somewhere elevated. So why not do it from the site of Bunbury’s earliest lighthouses (yes we’ve had a few) after climbing the steps of the Lookout Tower.

Run tour of Bunbury that even locals learn from. - You think you know a lot about Bunbury until you join Dan on his run tour! He’s done tonnes of homework to ensure that even long term locals learn a thing or two along the way.
I was initially concerned that 5kms might be too much for me but we stopped so often and ran at a relaxed pace making the whole thing a breeze.
What a healthy and fun way to see beautiful Bunbury.
Highly recommend

A great experience for anyone who loves fresh air and local knowledge - I’ve lived in Bunbury since 2009 and have to say, the things I learned on Dan’s Spoken Streets tour gave me a newfound appreciation for the town. It was also a great experience to share with my dad (who’s in his 75th year) whilst he’s visiting from the UK. Highly recommend this for anyone who likes to take in sights, get some good air in their lungs, and jog a bit. ❤️

Interactive and fun tour of town! - I had such a great experience attending a sundowner tour with Dan and it was a fun and interactive way to get to know Bunbury, if you're a visitor or even a local! Dan is very knowledgeable about Bunbury's history and I'd highly recommend going on one of his tours! The run is very reasonable and broken up into short bursts so no matter your fitness level it is very achievable and fun!

A fun morning in Bunbury - We went on this running tour through Bunbury with 3 friends and had a great time. The running is adjusted to the group's ability so everyone can easily keep up. We are locals, but we learnt lots of interesting facts about Bunbury - from the dolphins to shipwrecks and the lighthouse. Dan is a great tour guide - happy, positive and knowledgeable. We ended up having a (free) coffee at a local cafe. All in all a perfect morning. I would certainly recommend this tour. 😀

Whether you're a tourist wanting to explore more of Bunbury or a local looking for a fun activity with friends. Thanks Dan!
