Things to do in Lancelin:
4x4 off road on the sand dunes is a lot of fun, there is a huge area to explore which changes every day. I've recently been there twice 2 weeks

apart and the dunes had shifted and changed shape very significantly, so every time you visit it will be a new experience due to the winds.

For 4wd only there are a few tracks north of the sand dunes which lead to different beach areas which are great for fishing, relaxing or even just spending the day doing whatever you like at the beach.

For more information see 4 wheeling in Lancelin.

Collie, Wellington National Park.

Hill claiming at Collie, Wellington State Forrest

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 which is also referred to as Wellington Dam.
The Lennard track is a 4WD only track and is day use only.

After you exit the Lennard track you will find more tracks that are challenging 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.
