Ever wandered into a town that feels frozen in time? 👀

Where the Wheatbelt meets the Goldfields, Westonia is a charming outback town filled with gold rush history, heritage buildings and plenty to explore.

Established during the early 1900s mining boom, its restored streetscape offers a glimpse into pioneering life, from the original bank and green grocer to the bright red doors of the historic fire station.

Beyond town, discover granite outcrops, native bushland and seasonal wildflowers, or step back in time at the Hood-Penn Museum and its vibrating mine tunnel.

🌼 Tip: Visit between June and November for wildflower season, and allow extra time to explore the surrounding reserves.

About 3.5 hours east of Perth, Westonia makes a great stop along the Golden Pipeline Trail.

Ravensthorpe might be small, but it's got a few big surprises up its sleeve. 👀🍭

Tucked between Esperance and Albany on the edge of the Fitzgerald Coast, this little town is the kind of stop that turns a quick break into a whole afternoon.

🌸 Silo art: The towering Ravensthorpe silos on the PUBLIC Silo Trail follow the flowering cycle of the Banksia, native to the region.

🍭 The World's Biggest Lollipop: Yes, really. Snap a pic at the Yummylicious Candy Shack and grab a sweet treat while you're there.

⛰️ Ravensthorpe Range: Around 40km of low hills right next to town, with two lookouts. Some access roads suit conventional vehicles, but you'll need a 4WD for the Range Top Drive.

🚂 Railway Heritage Walk Trail: Follow the old railway line between Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun, broken into four sections.

And with Fitzgerald River National Park a short drive away, it's a great base for exploring the coast too.

Journey to a place where the landscape tells a story. 🪨✨

Just 7km north of Mount Magnet, The Granites is a striking landscape of towering granite outcrops, caves and huge rounded boulders, shaped by thousands of years of erosion.

For around 20,000 years, this place has held strong cultural significance for the Badimia people. Among the granite boulders, you’ll find Aboriginal rock art estimated to be around 9,000 years old, offering a glimpse into the deep history and connection to Country.

Take your time exploring the walking, cycling and driving trails, discover the caves and rocky formations, or settle in for a sunset picnic as the landscape takes on a magical glow. 🌅

A gold rush town with plenty of stories to uncover. ⛏️✨

Ranked #81 in @‌AustralianTraveller's 100 Best Aussie Towns to Visit, Kalgoorlie-Boulder is packed with character, history and plenty of unexpected experiences.

From colonial-era buildings and characterful pubs to historic brothels, there’s no shortage of ways to step back into the Goldfields’ fascinating past.

The story began in 1893, when three Irish prospectors travelling by horse stumbled across 3kg of alluvial gold. Just a few years later, the Golden Mile was established, earning a reputation as the richest square mile on Earth and putting Kalgoorlie-Boulder firmly on the map.

We’ve rounded up a few experiences to add to your and help unlock the stories behind this iconic outback town.

Think there’s nothing on the other side? Think again… 👀

Tucked into a granite rock, Monty’s Pass is a 30m tunnel created by a rockslide, making for a pretty unforgettable way to explore this part of the Wheatbelt.

And there’s plenty more to discover beyond the tunnel, from a colourful wave-like formation similar to Hyden’s Wave Rock and huge caverns to an echoing cave and native bushland filled with unique flora. So, where can you find it? 👀

📍 Elachbutting Rock, about an hour’s drive from Westonia in the region.

With a 6km track around the rock and plenty of natural wonders to explore, it’s well worth adding to your next Wheatbelt trip.

The wildflowers are showing off at this national park 👀🌸

And these snaps from @‌shadeymade’s spring visit might just show you why.

Known as ‘The Fitz’ to locals, Fitzgerald River National Park is home to around 1,800 species of flowering plants, including 75 found nowhere else on Earth. And spring is when the park really comes alive, with Royal Hakeas, Qualup Bells, orchids, banksias, eucalypts and colourful heathland adding plenty of colour to the landscape. 🌿🌼

Keep an eye out for wildlife while you explore too, with more than 200 bird species and native animals, including honey possums and dibblers, calling the park home.

🌸 The best time to see wildflowers is August to November, with Barrens Lookout a great spot to start. You can often spot Qualup Bells and the red baubles of Barrens Regelia right from the carpark.
