Wild Flowers

[Swampy]

Hi All,
For those that may be interested regarding my recent trip by 4WD to Wild Flower country. I have had a couple of queries regarding the best places to visit.

The whole of the area is a sea of wildflowers and with Canola and various other farm crops maturing the road from New Norcia through Dalwallinu, Perenjori ( Wreath Flowers East of this town). From there on to Morawa and Mullewa

30 Ks East from Mullewa I was fortunate to view the beautiful Wreath Flowers in bloom.

(Mullewa Tourist Bereau has a good mud map) A 3 K walk opposite the the Mullewa Caravan Park takes you through some lovely scenery which exits in the Mullewa township.

Down the track a bit chuck a lefty out too Coals Seam Conservation Park. Beautiful and green with some beautiful sceney and a nice lookout. Continueing on this road brings you out just North of Mingenew which has a great Bakery and nice coffee.

The other town of note is Coorow where less the 500 metres East of the town centre is a Community owned farm area open to tourists and travelers to traverse through fields of Canola on one side and beautiful wildflowers in the hills on the other.Worth a short walk up the hill thru the flowers for the view. The track brings you back into town after a couple of kilometres.( This was featured in the "West Australian newspaper yesterday)

For people wanting to stay reasonably local, I took a run down around the Peel Inlet a couple of days ago and wound my way thru the back roads too Waroona. From there take the Nanga Brook Road up through too Dwellingup (Great Motorcycle Road as most of you know) From Dwellingup take Del Park Road thru too North Dandelup and home.

Lots of fresh greenery and Wattle blossoming makes for a very pleasent shorter trip.

Regards
