WA's Wheatlands , the wheat belt, is a region of intensive grain agriculture and sheep pastures extending from the southwest coast into the arable areas north of the Great Eastern Highway. The main reasons visitors come here is to see a number of unusual granite rock formations, of which Wave Rock near Hyden, 340km from Perth, is the best known. The names of the desolate farming communities often end with the letters "-in", as prolific as the ending "-up" in the Southwest: both are thought to be an Aboriginal suffix meaning "place of water".
