About 4000 people flocked to Bunbury’s waterfront last weekend to check out the new-look Koombana Bay.
The Koombana Foreshore Festival marked the official re-opening of the revitalised bay and revellers were wowed by the city’s newest iconic attraction in the footbridge over The Plug.
A Good Nights concert starring Great Gable, Tom Day and Valentine entertained the crowd while a number of activities had something for everyone.
