Suburbs in Bunbury
Bunbury sits about 175 km south of Perth between the Indian Ocean, Koombana Bay and the Leschenault Inlet, so salt air is part of daily life in the city. Inland, the Picton industrial area and the port access road carry trucks to and from the Port of Bunbury. Australind and Eaton are growing family suburbs across the estuary and the Collie River. Busselton, 52 km down Bussell Highway, is a holiday town on Geographe Bay, while Collie is a coal and power station town in the hills 59 km inland. Each place asks something different of a vehicle's electrics.

Common auto electrical jobs in Bunbury
These are the jobs that come up most often across Greater Bunbury, Busselton and Collie.
Sea air on the coast
Bunbury is almost surrounded by water, with the ocean on one side and Koombana Bay and the Leschenault Inlet on the other. The afternoon breeze carries salt well inland, and it settles on battery posts, earth straps and any plug that isn't sealed. The result is slow cranking, dim lights and faults that come and go. Cleaning and protecting connections a few times a year is cheap insurance. See how to clean corroded battery terminals.

Port and industrial trucks
Trucks carrying alumina, grain, woodchips, mineral sands and lithium concentrate work between inland operations and the Port of Bunbury. Many run 24V systems and spend long hours on the Coalfields Highway, South Western Highway and the port access road. Lighting faults, chafed trailer cables, tired alternators and failing batteries are the usual jobs. A planned electrical check at each service is far cheaper than a truck stuck on the side of the highway.

Boats, vans and holiday towing
Boat ramps from Australind to Busselton and the run down Bussell Highway to the Capes mean plenty of trailers, campers and caravans on local roads. Salt water ruins trailer lights and plugs, while long tows show up weak charging to a van battery. Sealed LED lamps, clean plugs and correctly sized cable make the biggest difference. Our guide why aren't my trailer lights working covers the common faults.

Mine and work utes
Coal mines and power stations around Collie, plus mineral and processing operations across the South West, keep a large fleet of light vehicles busy. These utes often carry beacons, flags, UHF radios, isolators and a second battery, all fitted to the standard the site sets. Dust, corrugations and heat test every joint. Heavy cable, sealed connectors and a fuse for every circuit keep them working on shift and legal on the drive home.
