Australind
“Estuary living with city convenience.”
Overview
Located on the shores of the Leschenault Estuary, Australind is 165 km south of Perth and just 12 km north‑east of Bunbury. The town’s name combines “Australia” and “India” – a nod to its 1840s colonisation scheme.
History & lifestyle
Originally intended as a horse‑breeding colony for the British Indian Army, Australind’s early settlement struggled due to poor soil and climate. Despite the failed enterprise, historic buildings like Upton House remain.
Today, residents enjoy coastal living with amenities including a shopping centre, golf club and several schools. The suburb is bordered by the Collie River, Leschenault Estuary and Brunswick River, providing scenic walking trails and water sports.
