Collie is the closest town to Wellington National Park, so when people mention the Lennard track they think of Collie and not Wellington National Park. The Wellington dam sits within this national park, and the Lennard track (which is 4WD and day use only) is in here too.

Outside of the Lennard track, you will find plenty more challenging tracks in the area. One of them is a fire break track not far from the end of the Lennard track. Parts of this fire break track are very fun and challenging.

The Wellington dam is also worth visiting if you’re in the area. It's a great place to take a few photos and stretch your legs for a while...
