town one to consider whether your move to
the South West is for work, to bring up a
family, or to set up your retirement.
Education, sporting, medical, shopping facilities

a bigger city can deliver, Bunbury is less
than an hour away and Perth is within 2 and
a half hours.
Unlike many towns in the 21st century, Collie
has an industrial background and is happy
to embrace that and to promote it. This offers
a distinct feeling, and may offer some of
the best hope for the future, as the town
is welcoming to properly controlled industrial
developments, which often suffer "knee
jerk" resistance elsewhere. Collie is
set amongst rolling hills with many homes
in Collie boasting magnificent views over
State Forrest and the Town, while a short
walk from most homes will lead you to the
picturesque Collie River or Bushland.
