☀️ The 2026 Outlook: Perfect, Dry Conditions

If you’re worried about muddy tracks or winter washouts—don't be! Current long-range forecasts for Collie show no significant rain predicted until at least April.

According to Google Weather, the weather in Collie is currently sunny with a temperature of 23°C. The wind is blowing from the south at 12 mph, and the humidity is 37%. Today's high is expected to reach 26°C, with only a 15% chance of daytime rain.

This stable, dry weather makes March and April the ultimate window for:

  • Firm, fast tracks for Munda Biddi cyclists.

  • Dusty, clear paths for Bibbulmun hikers.

  • Guaranteed stargazing at the overnight huts.

  • Less March Flys biting through your hiking attire.

  • "How do I get back to my car?"

    • Park in Collie under the Visitor Centre lights and let us shuttle you to your start point so you can walk/ride back to your vehicle.
