Why Western Australia’s Wildflower Season is So Special

Western Australia is home to over 12,000 wildflower species, and nearly 60% of them grow nowhere else on the planet! But it’s not just about the flowers. It’s also about the incredible places they bring to life, from pink salt lakes to rugged gorges and dramatic coastal cliffs.
And if you’re keen to explore more than just the wildflowers, read our blog on Western Australia’s Top Coastal Wonders! It’ll give you a taste of the stunning Coral Coast, from Kalbarri to Geraldton, where wildflowers meet beaches, reefs, and ocean views in one unforgettable adventure.
