Bunyip is a small rural enclave approximately a 15 minute drive from Pakenham, located within the Shire of Cardinia. Bunyip still bears many characteristics of the past but is beginning to come of age with young families relocating to the town enjoying the semi- rural lifestyle, spacious living opportunities and well respected schools. The Bunyip retail precinct enjoys representation with Australia Post, two pubs, IGA supermarket, in addition to a number of speciality shops. Bunyip also forms part of the Gippsland V-Line Railway Service and enjoys access to the Princes Highway.
