Collie is a great little town with huge potential for tourism. Situated in rolling hills and surrounded by beautiful native forests, streams and a magnificent dam, I would recommend at least a 1 or 2 night stay. Other attractions include a very realistic replica coal mine at the tourist information centre, a museum across the road containing thousands of fascinating artefacts and coal mining equipment. A stroll around town reveals vintage steam locomotives and rolling stock and I'm sure many other treasures waiting to be discovered. There are plenty of accommodation options but best to book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Beautiful town with very friendly people and atmosphere. Lovely hiking routes and swimming holes. We ate at the Crown and food and service was excellent. The ladies in the Information Centre were knowledgeable and helpful. We will be back!

We stayed at Wambenger Lodge , beautifully presented apartment with very comfortable bed. All the features you could wish for. Beautiful meal at Crown and we spent the day looking at the beautiful surrounds of Collie

Wellington Dam was amazing. Great walks/trails. Good eateries. Restaurant and roof top bar at Collie Ridge resort was excellent. Good prices, generous serves. Very tasty. Premises, very clean and well appointed. Visitors centre was informative. Enjoyed walking around the steam locomotives. Museum unfortunately for us closed at 4pm and we missed it.

Our decision to visit Collie was centred around seeing the Wellington Dam mural. At the Information Centre, we found out about the street mural walk. We did this walk and visited the Coalmines Museum before going to Wellington Dam. The murals were absolutely amazing! The artwork incapsulated appreciation and honour of the previous inhabitants of Collie. The written accounts of people's stories as well as the displays in the museum were very insightful as well as humorous. As we walked around the townsite, we enjoyed visiting a number of cafes for coffee and meals. Collie provided us with a delightful 2 days break from life in Perth and a different experience to seaside holiday places.

We liked the visitor centre, and the engines and railway relics. There were some interesting buildings in the town. We particularly enjoyed being able to see the Anglican church on the hill - a lady came over from the Anglican op shop to unlock it for us and show us through. Built in 1915, it has beautiful stain glass windows and wall paintings. We were even able to climb the spiral staircase up to the bell tower. We also had a memorable trip to Wellington Dam to see the impressive murals. The weather was cold and wet but we still managed to get some good photos, then we were able to warm up with hot soup at the Kiosk a short distance away.
