The Collie Mural Trail is more than just a collection of artworks—it’s a journey through the heart and soul of the town. Starting at the Collie Visitor Centre, the trail weaves through Collie’s streets, revealing breathtaking murals on the walls of buildings, fences, and other structures.

Artists from across Australia and the world have contributed their creative talents, with works ranging from vibrant abstracts to lifelike depictions of local wildlife, people, and landscapes. The murals celebrate Collie’s rich coal mining past, its natural attractions like the Collie River Valley, and the vibrant community spirit that defines the town.

For an extra element of fun, challenge yourself to find all 12 Wambenger murals hidden throughout the trail. These playful additions are a nod to the local brush-tailed phascogale, a small marsupial native to the region.

The trail is family-friendly and wheelchair accessible, making it suitable for visitors of all ages and abilities.
