With thanks to the Department of Local Government Sport and Cultural Industries, the Shire of Collie has partnered with Adventure Connections to bring you the Hello Hiking project, for the Collie community.
The Hello Hiking project is a subsidised, five-week introduction to hiking program for Collie locals, who are interested in developing basic hiking skills by participating in weekly walkshops, increasing your confidence and ability, to venture out independently, on our fantastic walking trails.
