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.

My husband and I traveled for work. We found the facilities to be very clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site was fantastic. The food was delicious, well presented and really big portions..... also a wide range to choose from. All the staff throughout the motel were friendly and welcoming. We will defiantly be back for both work and a holiday.

There is so much to see, not just in the town, but in the beautiful surrounding forests and areas. Wellington Dam has a massive mural, but also fabulous swimming and kayaking/canoeing spots. You can camp, hike, mountain bike. Lots of great choices. The coffee is good, plenty of parking in town and most interests are an easy walk to.

Collie was a pleasant surprise, had not visited for many many years. For most people the Wellington Dam and the huge mural seems to be the main attraction, but there is more. Many beautiful lakes and pools set amongst beautiful forests as well as rolling green hills. The Street Murals are also a wonderful new attraction, with a well presented, printed map for walking the mural trail, some great murals. There's quite a few places to eat, including the usual "pub meals" in the main street, easily accessible. A great museum, and art gallery. We found the map a little confusing when trying to get to the Dam, as did many others we spoke to. We would make sure we were definite of exactly where we needed to go! However, everything we saw and visited was worthwhile. Our B&B was fabulous, would recommend it for singles, couples and families, everything was as described in Booking.com and nothing to make a complaint about, wonderful host Wanda and John, and beautiful gardens, leading down to the river. All great!!!!
