Smoko isn’t just a break — it’s a ritual. A quick

Smoko isn’t just a break — it’s a ritual. A quick yarn, a strong cuppa, a chance to breathe and reset. It’s where plans are made, problems are solved, and the best homemade slice usually appears. Simple moments, shared in the middle of a busy day on the land.

Screens down, lights off and look up… this magical view is waiting for you in the Wheatbelt Way. ✨

Before the season gets underway, there’s a whole rhythm that kicks in around the Wheatbelt. A trip to town to stock up on parts, fuel, groceries and those last-minute bits you never remember until you need them. Freezers get filled, meal prep begins, and the workshop becomes the centre of attention as machinery is serviced and checked over.

There’s a moment in the Wheatbelt when the heat sl

There’s a moment in the Wheatbelt when the heat slips away, the last farm lights blink off, and the sky becomes the brightest show of the season. Summer brings our stargazing months to life — wide open paddocks, quiet granite outcrops and skies so clear you can see the Milky Way stretch from one horizon to the other.

Out here, the rhythm of country life and the rhythm of the cosmos blend together. Machinery parked up, dogs settling in, the hum of the day fading… and then the night fills with stars.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, unforgettable summer experience, stargazing along the Wheatbelt Way is one of the most magical things you can do.

Westonia is renowned for its outstanding museums, showcasing early life in the shire and the region’s rich mining history.

This is made possible by a dedicated group of volunteers who generously give their time to keep the doors open on weekends, welcome visitors and share the story of Westonia’s past.

Ever wondered who’s behind the warm, friendly voic

Ever wondered who’s behind the warm, friendly voice on the end of the phone or the emails in your inbox? Meet Wendy — the Event and Volunteer Manager at the Dowerin Machinery Field Days.

Months before Dowerin’s iconic annual event rolls around, the field days office becomes Wendy’s second home. Behind the scenes, she is busy phoning, emailing and thoughtfully rostering the hundreds of incredible volunteers who generously give their time across the many roles that bring the event to life.

Having been a volunteer herself before joining the DMFD team, Wendy truly understands the spirit of community that powers the field days. She knows firsthand what it means to come together, lend a hand and support a local event that means so much to so many.

Since moving to Dowerin 30 years ago, Wendy has been actively involved in countless community groups and committees — including the tennis club, basketball club, Centenary Park Committee, school P&C and the Dowerin Community Club, just to name a few. Whether it’s helping in the kitchen during footy season or stepping up wherever needed, she’s always been proud to play her part.

For Wendy, volunteering is about connection, community and the joy that comes from giving back to the rural town you call home.

Love where you live 💛

If you have spent any time in Koorda there is a very good chance you have already met Kim Storer.

Kim is the friendly face behind the counter at the Koorda Community Resource Centre and one of those people who quietly makes a place feel welcoming.

Meet Tania Sprigg from Muka — the friendly face behind the much-loved Mukinbudin Caravan Park. Tania works tirelessly taking bookings, keeping everything spotless and making sure the park is ready for our major events in the region.

A Wheatbelt summer doesn’t ask for much — just a hat, some water, a couple of snacks, and enough room in your day to stop when something catches your eye. The best stories usually happen in those unplanned moments.
