Western Australia Is Ready To Bloom

One of the greatest flower shows on Earth is starting in WA – with wildflowers bursting into colour in the northern regions of WA’s Golden Outback and Coral Coast regions. Thanks to consistent autumn rains across the regions, local experts are predicting another bumper wildflower season for 2022.

With more than 12,000 species, 60 per cent of which are found nowhere else in the world, the flowers will colour the landscapes from coast to forest and city to outback. The six-month flowering season begins in June in the Pilbara, Goldfields and along the Coral Coast.

By September, it moves south and reaches Perth, finishing with a flurry in October and November throughout the South West. WA’s Mid West region is known for its stunning carpets of pink, white and yellow everlastings and incredible wreath flowers (Lechenaultia macrantha). 

The season generally starts in August and continues until the end of September, though hundreds of wreath flowers are already starting to flower in the Golden Outback region, and patches of everlastings – along with a variety of other species such as bachelor buttons, grevillea, hakea and mulla mulla – are also beginning to bloom.

One of the best ways to experience and discover WA’s collection of wildflowers is on a guided wildflower tour, or by attending a wildflower themed event. The WA Visitor Centre’s Wildflower Tracker app also provides travelers with one easy-to-use wildflower information and sightings reference. Updated regularly, the app’s interactive map shows exactly where the wildflowers are blooming around the State.
