Take Selfies with Wildflowers
There are more than 12,000 different types of wildflowers
West Australia has the worlds largest display of natural flora beauty. This is really due to being about the largest block of land that not only has remained fairly untouched by humanity and 'Progress' , but also has an ideal climate for nature to thrive.
Still to this day, thanks to our indigenous taking care of the land and living 'in Harmony' with nature, we are still able to see the natural beauty given to us by mother nature in the form of Wildflower Season
Some of the recommended spots to see fields of Wildflowers are Boranup Forest, Tuart Forest, Hamelin Bay, Ambergate Reserve, Busselton, Meelup Regional Park, Dunsborough
