Day 75 Western Flora





With the Wild Flowers giving us such a lovely show on the way down, Stephen and I, on the recommendation of Deborah & Anthony, spent a night at Western Flora Caravan Park.
To say that the owner Allan Tinker is passionate about this wonderful country of ours would be an understatement.

The caravan park is rustic, but beautiful and each day at 4.30 you get a guided tour of the flowers that are around at the time. Then at the end you are shown some of these minute flowers and what is on/in them, through a microscope projected onto a screen. Stephen is never going to sniff Geralton Wax again!!!

In the morning before we pushed on we walked the trail down to the Arrowsmith River and enjoyed the plants and birds as we went. We both feel that we learnt so much that we now have a different perspective of wild flowers, they are not just everlastings!
