Section by Section Guide

The Section by Section guide is designed to help you decide which part of the Track you’d like to walk and to give you all the planning information you need including: how to get there, highlights, interesting places, weather forecasts, Track conditions, the Track Towns and photos.

The nine sections are from town to town.

Collie

{media-1}The Track links to Collie via a 2.7km spur trail.

The Collie Visitor Centre is a welcome […]
