When things start to look a bit less unpredictable there is lots to see in our beautiful country so get out there - I’m sure going to try to. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Driving into Margaret River town at the moment, there is the most insanely beautiful displays of Kangaroo Paws.
Such a stunning welcome to wildflower season👍👍.
I reckon Kangaroo Paws win the title of the most spectacular of all the wildflowers🤩.
Apparently someone else thought so too when they were named our state floral emblem.
Announcing the choice in November 1960, the then Premier of Western Australia, Sir David Brand, said: ‘The Kangaroo Paw is so outstanding that it was the logical choice. It has grace and beauty, striking colour and distinctive outline, and it grows naturally only in Western Australia’.
Nice choice Sir David 😎.
..... and yeah we'll get you out in the best of the wildflower action in coming weeks on the Discovery Tour!
