Fremantle's historic colonial streets pulsate with the energy of street-performers and buskers, couples walk hand-in-hand through its colourful and lively markets. The lively street cafes and restaurants along its famous 'cappuccino strip' are perfect resting places to indulge in a spot of people watching.

DAY 6 Wildflower Discovery Tour

Enjoy a full day exploring the magnificent wildflowers of Perth and the surrounding region on your specialised wildflower tour. Travel to the best areas surrounding Perth to experience the remarkable wildflower phenomenon.

Today, we embark on a journey into the heart of Western Australia's wildflower wonderland on this intimate, small-group adventure. Your experienced botanical guide will identify rare flowers and show you popular favourites, as we are led through the treasures hidden within Perth’s Swan Coastal Plain and Darling Escarpment. With an emphasis on unhurried exploration, discover vivid red and green kangaroo paws, stunning catspaws with their vibrant hues and delight in the delicate symphony of colours of renowned Western Australian orchids. Pause for a rejuvenating morning tea and savour a moment of connection with this colourful bushland.

From the Darling Escarpment to the foothills, we immerse ourselves further into Perth’s unique floral tapestry. Leisurely walks ensure ample time to absorb the spectacle — touch, smell, photograph—the very essence of spring captured in petals and leaves. A delicious picnic lunch awaits in a tranquil bushland setting, accompanied by the soft murmur of a babbling creek and the occasional visit from curious blue wrens. Energised by the delicious spread, we venture into the jarrah and marri forests atop the Escarpment, encountering a striking contrast to the coastal plains.

Our final destination unfolds in the Darling Ranges - where orchards flourish amidst cooler temperatures and higher rainfall. We visit a local orchard where blossom-laden fruit trees abound alongside native wildflowers, offering a colour filled finale to a day steeped in the untamed beauty of Western Australia. Welcome aboard this unforgettable rendezvous with the soul-stirring landscapes of Mother Nature.

Use your complimentary wildflower booklet to help you identify the many various varieties of flowers during this extraordinary day.

However, some States and service operators do require proof of vaccination. So all that is required to travel for most Discover Australia packages is to be fully vaccinated. Even WA has now opened up! It is expected that any remaining temporary restrictions will end or ease over coming weeks – since all governments have detailed strategies to live with Covid and to enable their tourism industry to flourish again.
