It may be raining and blowing a gale outside right now but as we get closer to the Djilba season (Noongar name for August and September season), you can already see the bright yellow acacias brightening up the bush from the Pilbara to the great southern regions.

We love the wildflower season in Western Australia. And this year is already proving to be a bumper season.

If you want to see some stunning wildflowers right now within 3 hours drive of Perth, then head north to the florally diverse Lesueur National Park. There are currently 3 set trails there (with a multi-day trail being built at the moment) and these will take you on a magical meander through some florally rich landscapes.

The Lesueur National Park is home to over 10 declared threatened species and over 900 species of flowers. It is a hub of diversity and the trails are well posted. Here are some captures from a recent scoping trip into this magical wildflower wonderland.
