Starting at Wellington Dam, you can take the short walk down to the viewing platform to see the world record breaking 8000 sqm mural on the dam wall. The mural is entitled Reflections and explores the place the river has had in the lives of the people of Collie over the years.
Don't forget to look up at the amazing artwork on the ceiling of the viewing area as well.
Follow the map into Collie (20 minutes away) and then park the car and take a stroll around town where there are another 38 stunning murals to see, starting at the Collie Visitor Centre.
Allow half to a full day to see all the murals.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.

“I have painted a giant Karda (goanna) over patterns of native flora to the area. The skin of the Karda depicts the people of Collie, past and present, celebrating the moon and the stars. I chose to paint the Karda because it's an iconic and striking reptile native to the area. It may serve as a reminder to the community that nature is to be respected and without it we have no stories and no history.” Jack Bromell, artist
Dorsett Motors
Location: 88 Steere St N This mural responds to the past use of the site as Dorsett Motors, a Ford car dealership from 1930 to 1980, and as one of the locations of the Collie Co-operative Store.View 4 Photos of Collie Mural Trail
