About Australind

Australind is a substantial suburb of nearly 16,000 residents in the Greater Bunbury area, located on the Leschenault Inlet 165 kilometres south of Perth. The suburb offers waterfront living and serves as a residential hub for the Bunbury region. The name derives from an ill-fated 1840s colonisation scheme.

Life here centres on waterβ€”the inlet provides fishing, boating, and scenic walks, while the community enjoys a relaxed regional lifestyle. Shopping and services are comprehensive for a regional suburb. Australind attracts families and retirees seeking Southwest WA living at accessible prices with genuine waterfront amenity.

Australind falls under postcode 6233 and is governed by Dardanup Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Collie-Preston electorate.
