To the north of Perth along the Brand Highway or Midlands Route, visitors will witness an abundance of colour as wildflowers bloom spectacularly during wildflower season, from late July to October.
The inland farming towns of Dandaragan, Badgingarra, Eneabba, Carnamah, Coorow, Three Springs, Mingenew and Mullewa comprise Wildflower Country and come to life with a range of nature trails and heritage-focused activities. The towns are also rich with history and heritage, and offer otherworldly stargazing opportunities year-round.
Wildflower Country starts 1 hour, 45 minutes' drive north of Perth.
Discover, or share your own, recent wildflower sightings with the Western Australia Visitor Centre's Wildflower Tracker.

Things to Keep in Mind:
- Take nothing but photos. Picking wildflowers is illegal and can attract a $2000 fine.
- Respect private property and don't trespass.
- Protect canola crops and prevent the spread of disease by staying out of canola fields.
Please take care not to trample wildflowers - stick to paths wherever possible and if you do wander off the path, be careful where you stop to avoid treading on wildflowers.
