==Notable people== Notable people who come from or have lived in Bunbury include: [[File:John Forrest 1898.jpg|thumb|right|[[John Forrest]] was an explorer, surveyor and the first [[Premier of Western Australia]]. On 6 February 1918, Forrest was informed that he was to be raised to the [[British peerage]] as "[[Baron]] Forrest of Bunbury in the Commonwealth of Australia". Despite the announcement, however, no [[letters patent]] were issued before his death, so the peerage was not officially created.<ref>{{Australian Dictionary of Biography |last= F. K.
