About the AJS Bunbury

The Australia Japan Society - Bunbury - is a South West Regional Chapter of the Australia-Japan Society - Western Australia Inc. The South West Regional Chapter was formed in Bunbury in 2008 to expand the reach of Western Australia's pre-existing Australia Japan Society, which has been based in Perth since its inception. The South West Regional Chapter aims to support the activities of the Perth committee and all other WA-based Japan-related groups including the Bunbury Setagaya Sister City Committee and the Shire Of Busselton Sister City Association (which manages Busselton's relationship with Sugito-machi in Saitama, Japan). About Bunbury Bunbury is an attractive and interesting mixture of a pleasant, gracious city combined with a strong and successful industrial base built on the city's port. Located 173 km south of Perth it was once an important port for the shipment of wheat from the hinterland. Today no wheat leaves through the port. Instead the port concentrates on woodchip and alumina and the city of Bunbury has become the regional commercial centre. >> more information on the History of Bunbury
