The rains have started which is good news for wildflower enthusiasts, and hopefully means this year will be a good season. There are many extended wildflower tours which allow visitors to experience the splendour of the season, but if you are short of time or don’t wish to travel too far from Perth Casey Tours offer several wildflower day trips. Below are some highlights from the wildflower brochure out now!
The Bibbulmun track stretches from the Perth Hills to Albany, some 1003 kilometres. During the springtime the Perth Hills is a great place to go in search of blooms. Tree flowers, Kangaroo Paws, Orchids and many more varietals are found in this area. While you are here, enjoy a bush picnic lunch and a walk amongst the Australian bush. Departing on the 1st September, this tour is such to be popular.
With several dates throughout September and October, this tour will be sure to take you to wherever the flowers are blooming! Each week Casey Tours will scout the best spots, this flexibility around location is unlike any other tour company operating in WA. With a vast array of flower species native to the state, and 2100 species of native plants found within the Perth floristic region there is sure to be plenty of blooms to excite wildflower seekers. Tours depart on the 9th September, 22nd September and the 7th October.
Every year Chittering celebrates the wildflower season with a 3 day festival.
