    The West Australian Wheatbelt.

    Lots of lovely places, heaps of variety but…

    The layout of the place provides for enclaves. The population to area ratio is such that there are less people per square kilometer…but the enclaves provide for concentrations of weirdos, redknecks, fringe freaks, rural desperadoes, and fanatics: ( moi?:). Still only one of ‘them ‘ would go and live in amongst a town site full of them.

    (unless some poor unsuspecting soul with a good heart and noble intentions just happens to do a ‘Tree Change’ without checking out the local variety of wheatbelt weirdo’s.)

    We are talking entire towns where everyone is the one religion. Not your generic christian or muslims either. We're talking 'offshoots', sects.
    We are talking of places where your individuality had better be the same as everyone elses or you will suffer.

    'How hard can it be'? you think. Real Hard.

    Suppose your background survey of the town which looked like it was what you and the cook were looking for; the new business and the country dream just happened to miss a 'local nuance'. Like the fact that no one will trade with you. They welcome your purchase of goods and services from them, but will not buy from you if there is at all a choice.

    And, those girls you'd noticed; the real girly girls with the 'oh so long hair' and those lovely full skirts and the faces that yearn for the yolk of wifedom and motherhood......you can't have them either. (now i feel your anger building)

    You can't get in, you can't marry in. How many towns in the wheatbelt are enclaves for the Plymouth Brethren, or Exclusive Brethren, or just Brethren? A few, and these are a trap for the novice tree changer, lifestyler, retiree, hippy and similar ignorant innocents.

    But it isn't just the Brethren in all its forms. We have the Pentacosticals, Methodists, Baptists, Ana Baptists, Jehovas Witness's ad nauseum.
    If you think that the preponderance of faiths is a recipe for community harmony - you are wrong, honest.

    The reason all these schisms exist is because they could not even harmonize with their own lot.

    So beware tree changers, the W.A. wheatbelt is not the same all over. The country is lovely - but the enclaves and the locals need more scrutiny than I imagine other locations less given over to enclaves would require.

    On a brighter note though, it is a lot easier to get a firearm license in the wheatbelt. Because as we have discovered, there is lots to shoot.
    So shit you'd be armed - tell the wife and kids to pack.
    cya in the Wheatbelt.
    regards, Kimbo
