Wollaston is an inner southeastern suburb of Bunbury, Western Australia 4 km from the centre of Bunbury. Its local government area is the City of Bunbury. It is the location of the Bunbury Passenger Terminal, the current terminus for the South Western Railway and the Australind railway service. ==History== The suburb's name honours Rev. John Ramsden Wollaston (1790-1856), who initially migrated privately to be the chaplain for the Western Australian Land Company's failed settlement scheme at Australind. Finding himself without a parish, together with his sons, he built a small timber chapel on his own land at "Charterhouse" alongside the Preston River, as a condition of his receiving a stipend to act as Colonial Chaplain, and was opened without consecration in September 1842 (it had to wait until 1969 for this). A churchyard was built alongside it which contains the graves of some of the Bunbury area's pioneers. Suburban development in the area took place in the 1950s and 1960s.
