25.01.2022 Koorda Drive In is showing two great features this Saturday Night

25.01.2022 Merredin Peak is located on the very edge of Merredin. It offers two interpretive walks, the Rock Walk and the Bush Walk which can be joined to become one longer walk trail. Follow the rock walk for beautiful views over Merredin and the surrounding countryside and the bush walk to see native flora and fauna. There are still wildflowers around the peak. These were taken today (26/09/20) by Instagram.com/robinwolstenholme Great pics thanks Robin

25.01.2022 The Shire of Bruce Rock features an extensive salt lake network, extending from the Kwolyin Nature Reserve, through to the Seagroatt Nature Reserve. Part of the... network is easily viewed for photography from the Bruce Rock Corrigin Road or Yarding North Road but please be mindful as most of the lakes area is on private property. See more

21.01.2022 There is a lot of history in fire stations in the Wheatbelt. This one in Tammin was opened on the 24th of September 1935 by Mr L.S Carter, Captain of the Brigade, and cost 595 to build. Every country town has a fire station with a story to tell. @megsimmo . .... #tammin #firestation #shireoftammin #wheatbeltwa #wanderoutyonder #thisiswa #heritage #history #seeaustralia #justanotherdayinwa See more

18.01.2022 How good is this? International airline pilots are being retrained to operate harvest machinery to help address a shortage of farmworkers. "We surveyed the ...WA grain industry and came up with a shortage of over 1,000 machinery operators," said agricultural trainer Ley Webster. This year Ms Webster has trained nine pilots in operating a combine harvester. All of them have been indefinitely stood down and are adapting to a slower pace in a new cockpit.

07.01.2022 Jilakin Rock is a granite rock 15kms from Kulin. The site is home to a stand of Jarrah trees at the base of the rock. The Noongar say that the trees had grown as a result of two groups of Aboriginal people driving their spears into the ground when they met as a sign of friendship, the trees sprouted and grew as Jarrah trees. The surrounding area is also home to the Kulin Bush races which are held annually in October-except this year of course. @jarradseng . .... #kulin #wheatbeltwa #jilakinrock #noongar #jarrah #kulinbushraces #wanderoutyonder #horseracing #thisiswa #rockyoutctops #graniteoutcrops #thisiswa See more
