Information
Set in the picturesque Collie River Valley, the town of Collie was historically WA’s most important coal mining town. Today, it’s a nature-lover's dream, with plenty of nature trails, wildflower hotspots, swimming holes and bush camping spots to explore.
With a population of 7000, there are plenty of facilities within the Collie town centre, including a medical centre, supermarket, cafes and the Collie Visitor Centre. If you’re camping nearby and need potable water, the visitor centre will arrange this for you for a $10 refundable deposit. There’s free WiFi at the centre, but elsewhere you may find phone signal spotty.
Sep - Nov: View an abundance of wildflowers along the Collie River walk trails. Moderate temperatures in spring make for great walking and mountain biking conditions.?
Dec - Feb: Summer is the perfect time to take a dip in one of Collie’s many swimming holes. It’s also an ideal time for water skiing, SUP’ing and any other activities where you’ll need to hit the water. If you’re on a Collie bush trail in summer, keep an eye on the fire forecast – if the fire danger is ‘very high’ or above, it’s recommended you don’t complete a walking trail in the area. ?
