Destination information
The Wheatbelt is a patchwork of golden fields, character townships, pioneering history, fun farm stays, festivals and self drive experiences. If you are heading to The Wheatbelt, be sure to visit one or all of these places on Australia's Golden Outback.
Remote area travel
Australia's Golden Outback is remote - many parks are not accessible by conventional road vehicle, and some places cannot be reached overland in any vehicle.
If you don't have a 4WD or don't want to drive here, there are a number of companies in the regional centres that rent them. If you travel independently make sure you're familiar with all the advice and references for further information in the Know before you go section. Away from parks and main roads, you may need the permission of traditional owners or pastoral station managers for access.
From July to early November the Wheatbelt comes alive with everlastings, acacia, hakea, grevillea, leschenaultia, wreath flowers and orchids. Wildflowers are dependent on seasonal rain, so check with Visitor Centres before heading off to explore.
Commercial operators are licensed to provide a range of tours including nature and sightseeing tours. Search for tours at Tourism Western Australia.
