Natural Wonders of the Wheatbelt

Curtains of bark and the sleek shining trunks of stately salmon gum and gimlet greet visitors to the woodlands of the Wheatbelt in autumn (March to May).

Carpets of pink and yellow everlastings, roadside verges festooned in wattle and a great diversity of flowering shrubs delight the visitor in winter and spring (July to October).

Granite rock walks are wonderful at all times of the year.

The woodlands of the Wheatbelt contain a greater diversity of flora and fauna than the forests of the south west of the State. You may even see a mallee fowl wander by or encounter a kangaroo or echidna.

Magnificent granite outcrops are waiting to be explored. These range from Hyden in the south to Elachbutting in the north; from Kokerbin Rock in the west to Karalee in the east with numerous secluded and special spots in between.

Expansive salt lakes with their shrub margins are spectacular in all seasons.

Interpretative walks offer an insight into the environment and are a great way of interacting with plants and animals.

Nature and Shire Reserves throughout the Central Wheatbelt area contain a wide variety of habitats. We ask you to respect reserves and leave no evidence of your visit. No camping is permitted in reserves unless indicated.

To get your eye in and learn about the flowers consider a half day wildflower tour from Merredin. Available August to October.

Many of the self drive itineraries include areas rich in wildflowers from July through to October.

The dedicated plant enthusiast or bird watcher may like to try and find many of the species listed under Flora species and Birds.

To view a selection of native plants select Tree Gallery or Wildflower Gallery.
