Collinsville

The Heart of the Whitsundays Outback, Collinsville is located only 85 km west of Bowen.

The scenic drive will see you travel through orchards and farmland teeming with wildlife. Far enough away from the tourist hubs to be a country retreat, this close-knit community always offers a friendly and warm welcome to its many visitors. While in the Whitsundays Outback be sure to take a trip to the Bowen River Hotel, legend has it, a ghost or two frequent the halls of this historic location. Check out page 54 of the guide to learn more about Collinsville’s early mining history.

HEAD TO the Coalface Experience and take a look at how life used to be underground. POP INTO the Collinsville Visitor Information Centre – located at the free 72-hour RV park.
