Collie Shire

• Summary
• Weather for Collie Shire

Collie has a relaxing, laid back lifestyle where visitors will be welcomed. The town of Collie lies 200km south of Perth in a scenic valley formed by the Darling Ranges - east of Bunbury.

Collie has warm to hot summers, cool clear autumn days, crisp and occasionally misty winter days.

The town comes alive with colour in the spring (Sep to Nov) as a diverse range of wildflowers start to bloom.

Collie is proud of its long mining heritage. Visitors can gain an understanding of underground miners' lifestyle through a visit to the Replica Underground Coal Mine, located next to the Collie Visitor Centre.

Collie's varied waterways offer a wide range of activities, from a quiet canoe paddle at Minninup Pool, on the upper reaches of the Collie River, to a more challenging adventure on the rapids below the wall of Wellington Dam.

Due to its forest location, Collie offers picturesque walks and drives through large stands of Jarrah, Karri, Sheoak, and Blackbutt forests.

Collie has a wide range of accommodation, including motels, Australian style hotels, bed and breakfasts, caravan park and farm stays.

Natural attractions include Wellington National Park, Harris Dam, and the Collie River. The Bibbulmun Track (a world class 1000km walk trail), and Mundabiddi long distance off road cycle trail, both pass through the Collie townsite.
