Australia's Golden Outback » Farmstay Country - Close to Nature

The area to the east of the Darling Range is popular for farmstay holidays and offers a taste of country hospitality. Children will love the experience and the farm animals.

From mid July to November, colourful wildflowers burst into bloom along the roadside and in the bush, while pastures glow yellow with blankets of canola.

Mixing it with nature and heritage

A trip to farming country is all about getting close to nature and into the clean, fresh air. While away the day in the Dryandra Woodland, a short drive from Narrogin, where you can do just that.

Dryandra supports several species of native animals, including Western Australia's animal emblem - the numbat. Night tours give visitors an up close view of rare bilbies and other endangered species. Explore walk trails, including an Aboriginal heritage route, or the 25 kilometre audio drive, stopping at picnic spots for views and bird watching.

Unique icons

From sheep country, head into the wheatfields of the east for a West Australian icon - Wave Rock. This peculiar natural phenomenon, poised like a wave ready to break onto the sand, stands 15 metres high and is a must for the holiday photo album.
