The Eastern Wheatbelt is a two-hour drive from Perth and lies between the Avon Valley in the west, the Goldfields in the east, Gascoyne Murchison in the north and the Great Southern in the south. The East-West Rail route and road freight route, the Great Eastern Highway, runs through the centre of the region.
The region is one of the largest dryland grain-growing regions in the state, with the most common crops being wheat, barley, and canola, which are suited to the semi-arid climate. At any time of year, the changing nature of the farming landscapes, big skies and sunsets, bushland reserves and salt lakes will captivate road trippers. Take the time out to reconnect and recharge your senses.
There are 21 local governments here to provide you with country hospitality, showcase their events, festivals, attractions and history, inviting you to immerse yourself in new experiences at every turn, and stay a little longer
