It is a widely known fact, in Australia, that Western Australia has the best display of Wildflowers in Spring and if you’re a fan, maps are available from which to choose a self-drive or managed tour. As we were in Geraldton, we took the Wildflower Way, visiting Mullewa, Morawa, Perenjori, Coorow and Moora. We could have made the circle larger, but you really CAN see enough wildflowers for one day.

The first suggested site, St James’s chapel, Kojarena, is not just for the wildflowers nearby, but to celebrate the extraordinary work of priest, architect, poet (and more) Monseigneur John C Hawes, whose designs are also in Geraldton, the UK and the Bahamas. This chapel was built in 1935 on land donated by a neighbouring family.
After that we stopped whenever we saw a good clump of flowers. I’m not going to attempt to name all the flowers we saw, but will create a collage to display many of them.













We had coffee at Mullewa in a place that sold art by the owner, which was very Australian and bright.

Lunch was at Morawa and this was a cute little town featuring, as others on the region, some form of tribute to the flowers, but one to the Lions Club, as well.

We camped by the Moore River, after NOT finding the famous Wreath Flower (far right, above) despite many stops. It was a demanding but beautiful day.

Put a Wildflower drive on your bucket list, so that you get sick of sighing at the sight of so many forms and shades.
Beautiful, so nice to see colours at this time of the year – for me it’s all white π Maggie

I’m glad I could share it. I can only imagine what it’s like to see all white, for a long period, but photos make it look magical.

It looks magical when it’s fresh but after a few months it looses its charm π

It certainly is, especially as we’d come through the dry regions. An experience we won’t forget.
