Small town charm
Dubbed the “University Town” due to the many higher learning institutions you can find, Bundoora’s diverse population is also another draw for the progressive, liberal folks that you’ll find here. Not quite the big city, and yet conveniently accessible, you’ll find Bundoora to be a great place to stay. Who knows? This might be your next permanent home.
