Best Places to Find Wildflowers

Best Places to Find Wildflowers

BunGeo offers a full helping of flower power. While spring is a great time to visit the region for flowers, they are normally at their best from late September through to early November.

Wildflowers in the Jarrah forest are best enjoyed by leaving your car, so get out and explore. One look at a rare orchid and you’ll be compelled to snap away. Find the best blooms in the hills and valleys, but if you’re short on time, you don’t need to go far, with great wildflower locations in the city – yes, it’s true.

 

  • MANEA PARK, BUNBURY
    Located south of the City near College Grove, Manea Park is home to more than 30 species of orchids. Grab a Blooming in Bunbury map for more great spots near the City.
  • CROOKED BROOK, FERGUSON VALLEY
    The Forest Path at Crooked Brook is a hidden jewel for those with limited mobility, providing easy access to an area of natural bushland. The path features interpretive signage about the flora and fauna and plenty of bench seats.
  • WELLINGTON DISCOVERY FOREST
    Wildflowers abound the Wellington National Park. However, we suggest heading to the Wellington Discover Forest for the best views and walk trails.
  • KARAK RED TRAIL, COLLIE
    A walk along the Karak Red Trail starting from the cemetery provides an abundant display of stunning wildflowers.
  • BIBBULMUN TRACK
    You’ll find wildflowers all along the track, but a hotspot is the track section from Mornington Road to Patstone Road.
  • IRONSTONE GULLY FALLS, CAPEL
    If you are heading southeast from Capel towards Donnybrook along Goodwood Road, it’s worth stopping at the picturesque Ironstone Gully Falls picnic area.
  • SANDHILLS WALK TRAIL, DONNYBROOK
    Donnybrook is one of the top places in WA to see thousands of Kangaroo Paws. For the best viewing point, #BG recommends taking the Sandhills Walk Trail.
  • RACECOURSE FLORA RESERVE, BALINGUP
    The Blackwood Valley region is one of the most biodiverse floral regions in the world, boasting some species unique to the area. In spring, you can drive around all day and rarely see a field that is not flush with flowers. When in Balingup, don’t miss a trip the Racecourse Flora Reserve.
  • KORIJEKUP CONSERVATION RESERVE, HARVEY
    From Blue Tinsel Lily to White Spider Orchid, you will find it in the Harvey Hills region, with Korijekup Conservation Park (off Morton Road) a #BG wildflower favourite place.
  • CONDINUP RESERVE
    Boyup Brook is excellent country for orchids with the nearby Condinup Reserve one of the best viewing areas.

    Found yourself walking aimlessly through the forest?

    It’s time to ask for advice and the BunGeo Visitor Centres are ‘full bottle’ on the best wildflower locations across the region. Drop in and say hi.
