The wildflower season in Western Australia is the largest on earth with over 12,000 species, many only found in Western Australia, blanketing the landscape from north to south.

The optimum time to visit the Margaret River region to discover these colourful and exotic blooms is spring – September, October and November – it’s blooming beautiful!

Expert guide, Sean Blocksidge from Margaret River Discovery Tours, shares his secrets with Margaret River Busselton Tourism Associations, Tori Wilson, on the best and easily accessible wildflower walks to do in Margaret River.

“The Cape to Cape Track is the jewel in the crown of WA walk trails, five to seven days of awesomeness that varies between beach, forest, cliffs, rivers, gullies, alleys and epic views at every turn. No two days are the same.

The most diverse section is from Boranup Karri Forest, along Conto’s Cliffs through to Redgate Beach. Three massive wows in one day.

If you only have limited time, just the Contos Cliffs section and doing a circular walk back onto Contos Beach is ideal. (Allow around 3 hours)

The best stuff though is the really small stuff. The flowers you have to really work hard to find and the ultimate among those are the orchid species. One of the best sections for spring wildflowers is Ellensbrook through Kilcarnup to Prevelly.”
