The Wheatbelt Is Hiding Something Nobody Talks About
#wheatbelt #australia #geography
Did you know that one wheatbelt town was flattened in under a minute by an earthquake nobody saw coming? Or that a single granite rock out here holds enough water to be Australia's biggest natural tank? How about the fact that the ground itself is quietly turning to salt, in a crisis that started almost a century ago and still hasn't stopped? Well, there's a lot more to Western Australia's Wheatbelt than wheat, silos, and long straight roads. Look a little closer and you'll see it sitting on top of some of the strangest geology and history in the entire country. And today we're breaking down thirty one facts that will completely change how you see the Wheatbelt. Let's get into it.

In 1990 I was doing a training course behind a large backs skyscraper. We were on the second floor & i felt the table move slightly. Most were denying it. Me & another said that was an earthquake & then the trainer came in & confirmed. We were on the 2nd floor of a 4 storey building behind & down the hill a bit, a 17 story high rise. I’m so glad our buildings are made for earthquakes. That earthquake was like a 4. Have felt about 4 since very small around 4
Duel cabs are technically not utes. Utes are 2 door and duel cabs are 4.
Noongar is pronounced noong-ar, not noon-gar
