Sophie (Darkan)

 

Good morning! I’m Sophie (@sophietelfer) and I’ll be taking over the Wheatbelt Local account today. I have just finished Year 12 and live on my family farm near Darkan in the southern Wheatbelt. I love living in a rural area and am passionate about the Wheatbelt. I’m also the person behind the @wheatbeltlocal account! I hope you enjoy seeing my day in the Wheatbelt. ? 5.00am // Rise and shine! Last night we slept on the trampoline for the first time this summer (one of our favourite simmer traditions!) and so this morning, I woke up to a beautiful sunrise and the sound of chirping birds. A good start to what will be a busy day! ? #Wheatbelt #westernaustralia #australia #sunrise #morning #darkan #westarthur #lifeinthewheatbelt

9.15am // I love a Wheatbelt road trip! It’s hard to beat hitting the open road and seeing the landscape change before your eyes as you drive. Kulin bound today! #Wheatbelt #westernaustralia #australia #kulin #landscape #roadtrip #road #driving #travel #country

12.00pm // I was in Kulin today for Camp Kulin training (I’m looking forward to going on camp later in the summer). Kulin is also home to the largest waterslide in regional Australia. Unfortunately it was closed today! #Wheatbelt #westernaustralia #australia #kulin #kulinwaterslide #waterslide #fun #blue #travel #landscape #pool #water

5.30pm // The Darkan swimming pool is finally being filled! On hot days like today, it would be nice if it was already open ☺️ Hopefully it will be ready after Christmas though, when I start my swimming teaching prac ? #Wheatbelt #westernaustralia #australia #pool #swimmingpool #water #darkan #westarthur #lifeinthewheatbelt
