Day 2: Perth
Sunday 10 September 2023
This morning start your wildflowers experience with visits to locations around the Perth region where you will find the finest blooms. Whilst the slope, soils and ancient granite outcrops of the Darling Escarpment are traditionally the ideal habitat and location to view wildflowers, their abundance varies and is dependent on sunshine. Areas such as Wireless Park, Gingin and Toodyay are also prolific at various times. Your experienced driver/guide will help you identify rare and delicate wildflowers including renowned everlastings, orchids, red and green kangaroo paw, banksias, bottle brush and Western Australia’s most famous orange flowering Christmas trees. During the day at an opportune time, and hopefully close to gorgeous wildflowers, you will stop for a picnic lunch. This tour will highlight individual species and not carpets or fields of flowers, which you will find later on your trip travelling north. There will be ample time to identify and photograph flowers with many stops made along the way, returning to your hotel late this afternoon.
