Moora lies on the banks of the Moore River in an area particularly noted for its wildflowers. In spring, particularly, a spectacular multi-colored carpet of wildflowers embraces the surrounding countryside, punctuated by the dramatic yellow masses of wattle blossoms.
A number of detailed routes have been developed to allow visitors to see the most attractive areas, including the heathlands of the Watheroo National Park. Jingemia Cave, within the national park, is noted for its geological formations and vegetation.
Allow time, in Moora to visit Yuat Aboriginal Crafts and see artifacts being made by the local group.
The 80km Moora District Heritage Trail, which commences at the original 100 Mile Peg on the Great Northern Highway (30km north of New Norcia), is an attractive drive taking in Moora and the historic farm homesteads and settlements in the surrounding country.
It includes the Berkshire Valley, 19km east of Moora, where the original homestead and farm buildings constructed from 1847 onwards have been lovingly restored and are open to the public. The Old Flour Mill now houses the Berkshire Valley Folk Museum.
