The Coalfields Museum provides a unique glimpse into Collie\u2019s early days. The museum is housed in the historic buildings of the 1900 and 1930 Road Board offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking pride of place is a restored barrel organ made in Italy. The organ is a forerunner of a jukebox and was used to entertain the old timers at Fontana\u2019s Wine Saloon next to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalhotelcollie.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Federal Hotel in Throssell Street<\/a><\/strong>. There is also a massive letterbox (pillar box), a relic of the penny postage days. This is rare having been cast in the J &amp; E Ledger Foundry in Perth in 1903.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many more items are on display in the museum including <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Bottles, <\/li><li>Radiograms, <\/li><li>Phonographs, <\/li><li>Gramophones, <\/li><li>Wirelesses, <\/li><li>A baker\u2019s cart, <\/li><li>Mining equipment, <\/li><li>Coolgardie safe, <\/li><li>Icyball refrigerator, <\/li><li>Lynch\u2019s Rock and Mineral display, <\/li><li>Fred Kohler woodwork, <\/li><li>Gastaldo Homestead items, <\/li><li>Della bus, <\/li><li>All-time great fireman Dudley Magill\u2019s bust, and<\/li><li>Many historical photos and military memorabilia.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening hours<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Thursdays to Mondays, 9am-3pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong>   161 Throssell Street Collie<br><strong>Phone:<\/strong>       0418 792 962<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collie Courthouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-1024x638.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1425 lazyload\" width=\"768\" height=\"479\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-1024x638.png 1024w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA.png 1104w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/479;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-1024x638.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1425\" width=\"768\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-1024x638.png 1024w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ColliecourthouseWA.png 1104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other attractions in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/collie-western-australia\/\">Collie <\/a><\/strong>include the Collie Courthouse.

It was consecrated by the first Bishop of Bunbury, Dr Frederick Goldsmith. All Saints\u2019 Church is 23.47m long and 8.534m wide. The builders made use of nine different types of brick with extensive use of local jarrah, banksia and ebony timbers in it\u2019s interior. The Church can seat up to 200 people on jarrah polished pews. It was originally built without the campanile (bell tower), which was added in 1928 and stands at 9.814m tall. The campanile holds a set of eight tubular, mechanically operated bells, which were donated in 1929.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inside All Saints Church <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior of the Church includes a beautiful mural by artist Philip Goatcher, painted in 1922. The colourful mural depicts thirty individuals, including the Madonna, religious figures, historians, pastoralists, coalminers and aborigines. It is considered to be the most outstanding of Mr Goatcher\u2019s work. The mural is 11m long and 2.45m high and has had extensive restoration carried out in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Church houses a very unique wood pipe organ that was made and installed in 1965. It is made of meranti timber, which was chosen due to its hardness and resonate qualities. The organ took 6 months to complete and uses many German parts. It is thought to be the smallest wood pipe organ in Western Australia and also possibly Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stunning Stained Glass Windows in the Church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Displayed right round the Church, you will find stunning stained glass windows. These memorial stained glass windows were commissioned in 1985 and took less than a year to complete. The windows on the south side portray events from The Annunciation to the beginning of Christ\u2019s ministry. The north facing windows depict the sequence of events after His resurrection to Pentecost. The west end shows the Baptism of Christ and the Transfiguration. The Sanctuary windows represent cherubim, seraphim and angels flanking the alter. All windows are memorial windows dedicated to local identities from the Collie community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening hours<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>By appointment through the Collie Visitor Centre or Sunday service from 9am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address: <\/strong>   Corner Venn St and Mungalup Rd<br><strong>Phone: <\/strong>       <strong><a href=\"tel:0897342051\">(08) 9734 2051<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","listing-category":[120],"list-tags":[],"location":[109],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Attractions in Collie, WA | Country Airstrips Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Attractions in Collie WA include some of great historical interest.
