Wildflowers!

A slow and subtle transformation loomed across the landscape as we made our way south of Karratha – the emergence of wildflowers. This time of year is ideal to experience the rich colours of the Australian wildflowers. The first to catch our attention is the bold and vivacious Sturt’s Desert Pea. As we neared Kalbarri, there were more subtle hues emerging: mauves, hints of yellow and dusky pinks. Unfortunately the dry season has meant a delay in the full blooming of colours, which we might hopefully see as we cross the Nullarbor.
Trivia Question:
What is the native wildflower of WA? If you answered Sturt’s Desert Pea, you’d be wrong – that’s South Australia’s native! It’s the Kangaroo Paw!






Bonus points if you can name Victoria’s!
