About the Diocese
The Anglican Diocese of Bunbury is located in the south of Western Australia and is one of twenty three Dioceses in the Anglican Church of Australia.
The Diocese of Bunbury is a unique Diocese. It is large in area but it's population is small in numbers. The three main centers in the Diocese are Mandurah in the North, Bunbury in the middle, and Albany in the South.
The first group of Anglicans started worshipping in 1841 in Picton and the first parish of St Marks Bunbury opened it's doors in September 1842.
The Diocese of West Australia was multiplied in 1904 and the Diocese of Bunbury, Western Australia was established. The Cathedral situated in Bunbury was dedicated in 1962 and is truly a beautiful place in which to worship God. In the 104 years of the Dioceses' existence we have had 8 Bishops. Each was of an entirely different character but each possessed great vision and leadership qualities which have brought the Diocese to it's present position.
The Diocese is strong in spirit and continues to work and minister to the people of Western Australia.
