There’s a specific kind of magic that settles over

There’s a specific kind of magic that settles over our towns in May. As the summer heat retreats, the dust settles and the air grows quiet enough to hear the echoes of the past. It’s the perfect season to wander through our museums—not rushing, just listening to the stories held within the walls.

Here, history isn't just a date on a plaque; it’s the worn grain of a wooden tool, the scent of old paper, and the preserved memories of those who shaped this red earth long ago. The Wheatbelt has a thousand chapters to share; which town’s museum is your favorite to get lost in? 📖✨

Autumn adventures are best served with a side of campfire stories. 🔥 With the cooler nights settling in, there’s no better time to pull into one of our free campsites. Who’s in charge of the marshmallows this weekend?

Crisp mornings, fewer flies, and that fresh smell

Crisp mornings, fewer flies, and that fresh smell as the landscape starts to turn green again. More wildlife begins to appear, native plants start to bloom, and of course — it’s the perfect weather to get out and explore our many granite outcrops. Not to mention those evenings spent around a campfire with friends.

Autumn hits differently along the Wheatbelt Way… 🍂

Autumn hits differently along the Wheatbelt Way… 🍂

The light softens, the air cools, and the granite outcrops seem to glow just that little bit more as the seasons begin to shift. It’s a time to slow down, take the scenic route, and really soak in the beauty of the landscape.

This is your reminder of just how special it can be — a flashback to some of the incredible moments captured by our talented Wheatbelt Way photographers in the 2021 Wheatbelt Way Photo Competition. Each image tells its own story of the region, the light, and the quiet magic of autumn out here.

As May rolls in and the air across the Wheatbelt Way begins to cool, the landscape slowly shifts into its autumn rhythm. This month we’ll be embracing our Autumn Adventures theme, exploring the region’s unique granite outcrops — timeless landmarks that rise from the landscape and invite travellers to pause, wander, and take in the beauty of the Wheatbelt. 🍂

A turn worth taking

It’s easy to stay on the main road.

But the Wheatbelt rewards those who choose curiosity over convenience.

A small turn-off can lead to a quiet reserve, a local town or a moment of stillness you didn’t plan for — and didn’t know you needed. These are the places that stay with you long after the drive is over.

Small roads big perspective

It’s often the smaller roads that leave the biggest impression.

They invite you to drive slower, look closer and connect more deeply with the places you pass through. Along the Wheatbelt Way, these quieter roads tell stories of land, history and community — if you’re willing to listen.

No rush to be anywhere

There’s a quiet freedom in travelling without a strict plan.

No set arrival time.

No pressure to keep moving.

Just the option to stop when something catches your eye and stay a little longer than expected.

The Wheatbelt Way is best explored at your own pace — one road, one pause, one story at a time.

There are endless opportunities to explore along the Wheatbelt Way, and the Bendigo Pig made the most of them all. Elachbutting was a must-visit, especially after seeing it featured in the last Community Bank Mukinbudin Photo Competition Entries. So off we went to show the Piggy - and it was an absolute hit!

Between the towns and destinations lies something

Between the towns and destinations lies something just as special — space.

Out here, the Wheatbelt stretches wide and open, offering room to breathe, think and slow your thoughts to match the rhythm of the road. It’s a reminder that the journey itself is just as important as where you’re heading.

Explore beyond the main route.

This April, we’re inviting you to explore beyond the main route.

Take the detours.

Stay the night.

Let the journey unfold without rushing to the next destination.

Some of the best moments in the Wheatbelt happen when you leave the main road behind.

It’s the unexpected picnic stop, a quiet reserve just out of town, or a scenic drive that turns into an overnight stay. Windows down, no rush, and time to actually take it all in.

This April, we’re celebrating the roads less travelled — encouraging slower journeys, thoughtful detours and exploring more of the Wheatbelt Way.

Use the comment “GUIDE” to receive our Open Road Adventure Guide and start exploring beyond the main route.

The road less rushed

Some journeys aren't about how quickly you arrive.

They’re about the space in-between - the quiet road, the changing landscape, and they moments where you realise you don’t need to be anywhere else just yet.

Travelling the Wheatbelt Way invites you to slow down, take the long way and let the road set the pace. Sometimes thats where the best stories begin.

🚫 Firewood restrictions – please read if you’re travelling from Perth or other affected areas

If you are visiting from the Perth metropolitan area or other affected regions, please do not bring your own firewood.

The Polyphagous shot-hole borer is a serious pest, and moving firewood is one of the main ways it spreads. Restrictions are in place to prevent infected wood being brought into regional WA.

🔥 The borer can travel long distances when firewood is moved
🔥 Burning infested wood can spread the pest further
What we ask of visitors:

🚫 Do not bring firewood from quarantine areas
🚫 Do not collect firewood from reserves or campgrounds
✅ Buy your firewood locally in Wheatbelt Way towns

Supporting local firewood suppliers helps protect our landscapes, farms and communities — and backs local businesses too.
