The Moir Homestead is an historic site of interest and can only be reached by four wheel drive along a track which sometimes has pockets of deep sand which will quickly bog a 2WD. The homestead is found branching off the gravel road which leads to Quaggi beach, east of Esperance along the road to Ravensthorpe about 100 km's. It's a lovely drive in wildflower season, with the surrounding area often featuring the striking red kangaroo paw in full bloom, along with various other kinds of wildflowers in numerous colours. The homestead itself is of interest as it was a fancy home built in the middle of nowhere; there is still a surviving fig tree and a mulberry, which fruits prolifically. Visitors can respectfully sample the mulberry fruit themselves and they may even find emu feathers under the mulberry tree as the birds like to eat all the fruit they can reach (you may need to climb a bit to find yours, so be careful of the old grandmother tree). Always watch out for snakes and keep an eye on your kids, there are many dangers in the shape of wildlife and rusted metal. If you have an allergy or a fear of bees then this isn't a recommended trip for you as wild bees have colonised parts of the old homestead and the huge fig tree beside it. They'll be ok if you leave them alone and keep a respectful distance, though.
