The western and southern section of Wildflower Country is one of the world’s richest flora areas – and home to acres of shrubby vegetation known to Aborigines as “kwongan”, a dense mixture of different plants, including the scarlet flowers of the staghorn bush, the soft grey of smokebush and the pink and yellow of verticordias.

The eastern and northern Wildflower Country is a complete contrast, with carpets of everlastings, the unique and distinctive Wreath Flower as well as the bright orange wild pomegranate, bright pink native foxgloves, many species of orchids, grevillea, acacia, purple darwinia and dampiera, thriptomene, smokebush, woody pear, cassias, eremophila, blue cornflower and yellow bells.
