Self Drive capital of Western Australia starts on Indian Ocean Drive

Rona Chiera — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:13:15 +0000

The Self Drive capital of Western Australia starts on Indian Ocean Drive. The Indian Ocean Drive will show you the coastal essence of Western Australia – the narrow beachy, sun-bleached strip of the Turquoise Coast and the Coral Coast. Starts in the heart of the Moore River region, just one hour north of Perth, Gingin.

This takes us from Cervantes to Jurien Bay up to Ningaloo, the world’s biggest fringing reef.

But, early on in the trip north, there is the Pinnacles at Nambung National Park – thousands of limestone pillars rising out of the yellow sand. Some pinnacles rise up to 3.5m. Some are like tombstones. Composed of seashells in an earlier epoch rich in marine life, they may have taken thousands of years to form but were exposed only a few hundred years ago.

Moore River Olives. The Olive Tree & Allergies

Rona Chiera — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 05:25:41 +0000

Friday 6th August 2010, my daughter Isabella tested negative to the “Olive tree” allergen. She has finally outgrown one of the many allergies she endures. We could go near olive trees, but she could never touch them. Years ago we gave the girls, Olive Leaf Extract, and they both had an allergic reaction to it. I am married to an Italian man so so can see the importance of the olive in our family. Preparing foods with pure olive oil never affected her, just the leaf, but canola oil disrupts her wellbeing! Go figure that one out. We only use olive oil in our house. I couldn’t imagine being allergic to the Moore River region-the largest Olive producing region in Western Australia and where our holiday home is located.

Jarrah honey is theraputic and our family enjoy using natural remedies first due to our families chronic allergies. West Coast Honey is just one hour north of Perth in the Moore River region, Gingin.

Moore River is a river in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.
The headwaters of the river near Walebing and flow westerly before joining with the Moore river East near Mogumber then flow in a westererly direction. The river flows over the Edengerie Cascade through the northern edge of Moore River Nature Reserve then through the escarpment and discharge into the Indian Ocean near Guilderton.
The river includes a catchment that extends from just south of Three Springs to Guilderton. The catchment has a total area of 13,540 square kilometres (5,228 sq mi) and is mostly cleared. The catchment area is used for broadacre farming but with increasing deversification in horticulture and tree plantations. The river mouth at Guilderton typically closes during the summer months due to insufficient water, creating a sandbar.
The river was named in 1836 by Private Patrick Heffron who named it after George Fletcher Moore who was the leader of the expedition that Heffron was a part of.[4]
The river has nine subcatchment areas and has a number of tributaries and lakes along the length of the river. The salinity levels in the river catchment vary from brackish to saline with the exception of Gingin Brook which remains fresh throughout the year.[5]
