Adventure awaits in Collie

The historic town of Collie in WA's South West is set to become a premier destination for mountain bike enthusiasts, following the completion of the Arklow mountain bike trail.

Winding its way through the Arklow forest, the trail network totals 36 kilometres; with six kilometres of the trail built to accommodate handcycles, allowing mountain bike riders with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy even more of the area. 

Also underway in Collie is a Mural Trail, which will feature a number of murals throughout the town, including a centrepiece mural at the Wellington Dam. 

Queensland artist Guido van Helten has been confirmed as the lead artist, who is known for his realistic large-scale murals that have turned structures into icons across the world – including Portugal, Canada, the United States of America, Italy and Iran. 

Located just a two-hour drive south of Perth, Collie has long been a popular destination for adventure lovers; with nature-based activities such as camping, white water rafting, water skiing, canoeing and bushwalking all on offer.
