The Central Wheatbelt is a wonder waiting to be enjoyed. Its massive granite outcrops and spectacular views are a haven for birds, wildlife and wildflowers that delight bushwalkers, wildflower enthusiasts and photographers.

Early explorers, such as John Septimus Roe, sandlewood cutters and early settlers all camped near these rocks where water and grasses were usually plentiful. Wheat fields, grazing sheep or cattle and magnificent stands of salmon gums, rough morrels and polished gimlets make the view after a climb to the summit worthwhile. The open space and night skies are awe inspiring

Glimpses of fauna or a beautiful flower on a bush at any time of the year; a picnic or BBQ at a tranquil picnic area or camping under the millions of stars, are simple delights of the area. Enjoy special delights of fresh produce such as olive oil, wines, preserves, yabbies and lavender products, excellent cafes and restaurants.

Friendly people in rural towns, each unique in some way, will welcome the traveller to a historic pub, motel, B&B, farmstay or shady ccaravan park.
