The Central South Region of W.A. . THE Central South Region is an area of infinite variety, with gentle, undulating hills thickly wooded with wandoo, gums and a host of other native trees, wide expanses of ripening wheat and dramatic outcrops and breakaways silhouetted against the sky. In the wheatlands , the rich soil is seeded after the May rains.
Furrows lie straight and true towards the horizon.
By July, young shoots transform the soil into a green carpet and the crop grows higher with each passing day. With Spring, the area is ablaze with wildflowers, transforming the landscape with vibrant colours. Later, from mid-November, the ripe golden heads of wheat, barley and oats are harvested. The region's climate is Mediterranean, or warm temperate, characterised by mild wet winters and hot dry summers. Rainfall declines from west to east, while evaporation tends to increase from south to north.
