Day 2: Perth – Kalbarri

Admire the breathtaking views of the Western Australian coastline as you head north towards your destination, the beautiful coastal town of Kalbarri. Near Dongara, you’ll meet the young family who own and operate the award-winning Illegal Tender Rum Co. Join your hosts for a behind the scenes tour of the distillery, indulging in special tastings throughout.

Included Meals: Breakfast

Day 4: Kalbarri – Geraldton

Explore historic Lynton Station, established in 1853 as a Convict Depot, and Station Homestead, before bracing yourself for the spectacular view of the Pink Lake of Hutt Lagoon.

Another exciting day in the search for wildflowers as you head west and discover small towns like Mullewa.

Your Travel Director will take you to where the wildflowers are known to be in bloom. This may be Coalseam Conservation Park or perhaps further west of Mullewa.

Included Meals: Breakfast

Day 6: Geraldton – Perth

Following the coastline towards Perth, you’ll visit Nambung National Park to wander through the famous Pinnacles. These amazing natural limestone structures, some standing as tall as five metres, were formed thousands of years ago after the sea receded and left deposits of seashells. Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand, leaving the pillars exposed to the elements. This evening in Perth, join your Travel Director and fellow wildflower lovers for a Farewell Dinner.

Hotel: Crowne Plaza, Perth

Included Meals: Breakfast, Farewell Dinner

Day 7: Farewell from Perth

One of the most beautiful inner-city parks in Australia, Kings Park is home to the spectacular Western Australian Botanic Garden. With over 3,000 species of the State’s unique flora, the stunning collection of the Wildflowers is unique, and a fitting end to your Western Australia wildflower experience.

Included Meals: Breakfast
