The Golden Heartlands encompasses Western Australia’s goldfields and wheat belt: a landscape that stretches from the coastal sand dunes through forest and wheatfields to alluvial flats and saltpans. This region takes in the crayfishing towns and surf beaches north of Perth and its extensive rural hinterland, and further east the historic goldrush cities of Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie and the towns made famous by the nickel-mining boom. It is home to some of Western Australia’s most popular natural attractions, such as Wave Rock and the amazing Pinnacles. Visitors from the east enter the region at Norseman where the Eyre Highway across the Nullabor meets the Coolgardie-Esperance Highway. Vast tracts of red dusty landscape stretch east and north to the Victoria Desert and the border of South Australia. A common theme of this diverse region with its unique natural attractions and friendly towns is its wildflowers, which cover it from coast to desert each spring.
