With its small character townships, fields of rolling green hills and yards of charismatic farm animals, it’s no wonder the Wheatbelt is so popular an escape. This charming rural region offers all the friendliness of the country within only a short drive of Perth.
These towns are nestled deep within the agricultural zone and come complete with character country pubs, quaint main streets and locals so friendly they’ll stop for a chat in the street and never fail to greet you with a smile.
Experience the best of this country charm by staying at a Wheatbelt farm stay. Here you can indulge in the genuine hospitality of your hosts, cuddle cute farmyard animals and enjoy the ultimate in home cooked food and fresh produce. The Wheatbelt is also a culinary delight and while here, don't forget to sample fresh yabbies, olive oil and local wines.
Visit Wave Rock, near Hyden to experience one of the region’s most iconic natural features and make sure you stop and explore the surrounding Roe area on your way by taking a 3 Day Wave Rock self drive holiday. This geological marvel soars from its surrounding plains like a giant wave about to crash over the surrounding bush.
Beautiful granite rock forms also adorn the landscape in both Narembeen, north of Hyden and Mukinbudin in the northern Wheatbelt. In fact Mukinbudin features its own giant wave rock – Elachbutting. You’ll also find the white hidden valley of Chiddarcooping not far from the Mukinbudin township.
West of here you’ll discover quaint Wheatbelt villages tucked amid rolling hills and each boasting a charm all of their own. These areas are particularly stunning during the wildflower season but there’s plenty of country charm to keep you entertained the whole year round.
