MOORA
Heading east from the coast there are
some somewhat remote rural centres to pick. The first to qualify under
the Bustout criteria is Moora. Moora is a really nice place and
staying over at the town is highly recommended.
Moora is the centre of a rich wheat
belt growing area and community pride is clearly on display.   
In March 1999, the town
suffered a major flood when ex-Tropical Cyclone Elaine caused the
Moore River to break its banks with the evacuation of 1000 people.
The town is the most
substantial wheat belt town between Geraldton and Perth. The town
provides facilities and services such as commercial banks, schools,
commerce and retail sectors, community recreational facilities; plus a
Pharmacy, Dentist, Doctors and District Hospital.
Moora is often a popular
stopover for tourists en route to holiday destinations and those
following the wildflower trail.      
The two Moora Hotels are
classic 100 year buildings. 
The Moora Churches are a
delight to behold, all being over 100 years old.  
The Moora Historical
Society is active.
The Moora War Memorial is
one of the better acknowledgments for a town of this size one will
come across. 
Be sure to stay over.
