Collie, Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Population:
7,084 (2006)[1]
Established: 1897
213 km (132 mi) S of Perth
59 km (37 mi) E of Bunbury
Collie is a town in the South West region of Western Australia, 213 kilometres (132 mi) south of the state capital, Perth, and 59 kilometres (37 mi) inland from the regional city and port of Bunbury. It is near the junction of the Collie and Harris Rivers, in the middle of dense jarrah forest and the only coalfields in Western Australia. At the 2006 census, Collie had a population of 7,084.[1]
Collie is mainly known as a coal-producing centre, but also offers industrial, agricultural and aquaculture tourism industries. Muja Power station is located east of the town, and to its west is the Wellington Dam, a popular location for fishing, swimming and boating.
James Stirling named the town after the river on which it is situated, which in turn is named after Dr Alexander Collie. He and William Preston were the first Europeans to explore the area in 1829.
Coal was discovered in the area by a shepherd named George March in the early 1880s. The coal fields were developed in the late 1890s and the townsite surveyed and gazetted in 1897.[3]
Collie was once referred to as a dirty mining town,[4] but on 8 April 2006 it won the Australian Tidy Towns Competition from finalists from six States and the Northern Territory.[5] Collie was named the top Tidy Town because of the commitment of the community to recycling, waste management, beautification and community projects.

[edit] Industry and economy
Collie has a significant role in the provision of electricity for Western Australia. There are two coal mines in the town and two power stations. The government of Western Australia will soon commission a new base load power station, for which a number of Collie base proposals have been made.
Initially Western Collieries, the Wesfarmers Premier Coal mine continues to produce 3-4 million tonnes of coal per year.[6] It contains enough reserves for another 100 years of mining at the present rate.[6] The Griffin Coal mine is owned by Ric Stowe.[7]
[edit] Education
Collie has four primary schools, Fairview Primary School, Amaroo Primary School, Saint Brigid's Catholic College and Wilson Park Primary School, and one high school, Collie Senior High School.
[edit] Tourism and facilities
Tourist attractions at Collie include the Steam Locomotive Museum, Collie Museum and Wellington Dam. Parks include Soldier's Memorial Park and natural features include Stockton Lake and Collie River.
Collie also hosts the Kostecki Motorplex, one of Western Australia's only permanent motorsport venues outside the Perth metropolitan area.

AC16 through Karrabin Station
Queensland Railways AC16 passing through Karrabin Station.
The Queensland AC16 class locomotive is a 2-8-2 steam locomotive of the Queensland Railways (QR). The locomotives operated on 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge.
The Second World War and the occupation by Japanese forces of Pacific Islands and islands to the north of Australia saw Queensland and the north of Australia placed under the threat of imminent attack. This placed a great strain on Queensland Railway’s resources in the movement of wartime supplies and troops.
A request was made in 1941 for further, new C17 Class steam locomotives and the specifications were forwarded to the United States where the United States Army Transportation Corps (USATC) drew up plans for a 2-8-2 with specifications similar to a C17 Class. The locomotives are also known is United States of America as USATC S118 Class steam locomotives. These locomotives were intended as a standard design for use on narrow gauge railways in other parts of the world as a war-time measure. There were twenty engines obtained during World War 2 from USA under Lend-Lease arrangements and later purchased. They were the only ones of their type to come to Australia out of a total of 741 similar engines built for US Army Transportation Corps.
The Monticello Railway Museum with Southern 401 7/21/2018
On July 21st, 2018, I teamed up with my close colleagues, A-Train4014, TheLOKRailfan, and SantaFe669 for a trip to the Monticello Railway Museum.
The main star of the museum is Southern Railway 401, a Baldwin 2-8-0 steam locomotive. Since its restoration in 2010, 401 has been steamed up one weekend every month with the occasional photo charters. Today, she's on a regularly schedueled run between the museum and downtown Monticello.
So hop on board and ride with us as we take you on this awesome journey behind one of the most beautifully restored steamers in the Midwest.
Stay tuned for some bonus footage with Canadian National ALCo FA #6789.
