Western Australia with its sandy soils may
seem an unlikely place for wildflowers to prosper,
however, this state is world renowned for being the
Wildflower State. Around 12,000 wildflower species have been found
throughout WA, with the south-western corner of the state notable
for having more species of flowering plants than almost anywhere
else in the world.
This article gives you an extensive list of many
various species of wildflowers and the regions where they are most
prolific. The wildflower season lasts for five months and flowers
may begin to bloom from July in the warmer parts of the state
through to November in the south. What a better time to start
looking.

Wannago Tag Along Tours
Historic Pubs of Queensland
14 Days – Departs 22nd April 2007
Follow the old Cobb & Co routes with John and Mike, whilst stopping at
some of Australia's most iconic pubs along the way. This tour takes
travels through the outback to some of the oldest licensed premises in
Queensland such as Nindigully, Hungerford, Eulo Innamincka, Birdsville
Middleton Hotel and many others. The trip is mostly along good dirt
roads but we do duck out to Big Red whilst in Birdsville and some
trickier areas of 4wding through the Diamantina Lakes. This trip is
fully catered, most nights we dine at the hotels - breakfast, morning
tea and lunch is also provided. Off road camper trailers can be taken on
this trip. Accommodation will be at the pubs’ camp sites or National
Parks, so anything from throwing your swag down on the pubs verandah to
pulling up a camper trailer is welcome. The fully inclusive cost is $115
per day.

playing in tomorrows AFL Grand Final - Go Eagles!! With this
weekend also the start of school holidays for WA, SA,
NSW, NT and the rest of the states already well into holidays (other
