The wildflower trail - only 3 pics!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our camp spot at Ellendale Pool, similar cliffs to Geike Gorge at Fitzroy Crossing way way back.  This was on the way to the wildflowers.
We left Geraldton and headed inland thru the wheatbelt to see the wildflowers.  Had my heart set on seeing the fields of white & pink daisies thru Morawa and the wreath flowers of Pindar.   The wildflowers are a huge part of the tourist season of WA.   Sadly the daisies had come and gone, but the wreath flowers were around.  They only grow in one little kilometre stretch of dirt, usually where the ground has been disturbed, people come from everywhere to see them.   Mud maps handed out at the info centres, ribbons tied to posts and trees to mark their start and finish.

I dont think thats a smile on his face.   He was on the road as we saw the wildflowers and I got up close & personal.

From the bus window as we drove along

on the sides of the road, in the newly graded dirt.

Prob. not exciting for you, especially JUZ!!!!!!! but they look just like a wreath from a florists.
Glad I saw them, the rest of the drive in a loop from Geraldton thru Mullewa, Canna, Morowa and Miningew back to the coast at Port Denison, provided huge fields of either wheat or wildflowers.  We are so blessed to be here at this time.    Had a great camp spot at Canna, nothing there, just grain silos, but 3km off the road the Lutheran Church has setup an overnight camp.  Power, rainwater,toilets & shower for a $5 donation to the church.     We are now heading back to the Coast.
