The Everlastings Wildflower Trail

The countryside around Geraldton was as healthy as it could be. Plenty of crops in sparkling condition - we were blown away by the extent and colour of the wheat and canola crops - simply breathtaking. The country is certainly in great shape over here - the drought is long gone!

This area comes alive in late winter and spring each year, when the displays of wildflowers appear  in bushland, fields and roadsides. The everlastings form vivid carpets across the plains, especially in pastoral areas. The star attraction is the wreath flower but unfortunately we were too early to see any of these. This area is particularly suited to wildflowers due to the combination of climate, farmland and bushland in close proximity and the geography of the land. You would need at least a week to see the area properly and the best time would be end August to October.
