The township of Collie lies in a scenic valley formed by the Darling Ranges.
Collie is a town proud of its long mining heritage. History buffs will enjoy the Coalfields Museum, Old Collie Goods Sheds, All Saints Anglican Church and the Railway Station. Due to its forest location, Collie offers picturesque walks and drives through large stands of jarrah, marri, sheoak, and blackbutt forests. The area comes alive with colour in the springtime as a diverse range of wildflowers begin to bloom. Collie's varied waterways offer a wide range of activities, from a gentle canoe paddle at Minninup Pool or the upper reaches of the Collie River, to a more challenging adventure on the rapids below the wall of Wellington Dam. |
