The Leschenault Region in the south west of Western Australia has an area of 1 981 km2. The region drains into the Leschenault Estuary just north of the City of Bunbury. The region includes the catchments of the Brunswick, Collie, Wellesley, Ferguson and Preston Rivers, as well as numerous wetlands, creeks and drains.
