Bridgetown is the centre of a thriving and attractive district where, apart from tourism, the major industries are timber, mining and horticulture (fruits, vegetables, nuts, olives, wineries).

Every year in November, Bridgetown comes alive with the Blues at Bridgetown Festival. This event grows in popularity every year, attracting world class musicians and large crowds.

History

The name of the town was proclaimed in 1868 as the town was accessible by a bridge and the 'Bridgetown" was the title of the first ship to dock in Bunbury for the collection of wool in the area. Today, Bridgetown is home to the longest jarrah bridge in Western Australia.
