Outback Wildflowers

Every spring, between July and October, the Golden Outback in Western Australia is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour and the world’s biggest wildflower show.

While Western Australia usually plays host to one of the best wildflower seasons in the world, there are a lot of factors that go into making a good wildflower season in WA - from the temperature to the rain, whether it was an early or late autumn or winter.

The sheer size of the Golden Outback region makes this the perfect place to see incredible wildflowers. For all the latest sightings contact the local visitor centre and the friendly locals will highlight the latest hotspots you can explore.

There is nowhere better to experience the world-famous Western Australian wildflowers than the Golden Outback - where orchids and everlastings carpet the landscapes in colour each spring. From mulla mulla and wreath flowers in the Gascoyne Murchison, to spider and donkey orchids in the Wheatbelt and Esperance regions there are so many wildflowers to hunt and find.

In fact, with over 12,000 different varieties, the Golden Outback is the most diverse wildflower region on Earth, making it perfect for a springtime adventure!

These self-drive road trips are the blueprint for an amazing wildflower holiday across the Golden Outback, each one showcasing the stunning scenery and rich culture of the region, along with the amazing wildflowers.

Most are fully 2WD accessible and have accommodation options including farm stays and station stays, along with hotels and campsites, however, they do fill up pretty quickly so book in advance to avoid disappointment.
