Tour departs Saturday 7am from Fremantle; 7.30am from Perth. In the morning we travel through the Swan Valley, stopping at New Norcia, an 1830's Spanish Monastery town for morning tea and home made cake.

From New Norcia we drive through hills and valleys seeing flowers unique to the escarpment - lechenaultias, smokebush etc followed by those of the grain country. Hopefully we will see the rare and amazing wreath lechenaultia.

After a delicious picnic lunch in the wildflowers we head north as the carpets of wildflowers increase along the backtracks on the borders of the outback.

In the late afternoon we head to the coastal crayfishing town of Dongara. We arrive at the Priory Lodge in Dongara in time for a drink and a wander around the historic Lodge which is our accommodation for the night. Comfortable beds, a warm fire and a delicious meal are provided.

After breakfast we leave Dongara heading northeast to the magnificent Coalseam National park where the views of endless everlastings are breathtaking.

The last part of our trip passes through the flowers of the sand plain - completely different but equally spectacular flowers - dryandras, grevilleas, kangaroo paws.

We get back to Perth at approximately 6.30pm on Sunday.

As the season advances we follow the wildflowers down the south coast with the added bonus of whale watching. On the southern version of our Wildflower Weekends, from the last weekend in September, we head southeast, up the Darling Escarpment, through the famous Jarrah forests and into rich farmland. The Jarrah forest is alive with wildflowers, both under the trees and along the roadside; morning tea (with delicious home made cakes) amongst the forest flowers.

Travelling through rolling farmland, we sight the Stirling Ranges, Western Australia's most spectacular mountain range. Lunch is in the small village of Cranbrook, often coincident with the local wildflower show. This is an amazing collection from the whole district, of some of the world's most unique wildflowers collected by local enthusiasts.

After lunch we head into the Stirling Range National Park - a very different landscape to the rest of the state: steep rock faces to Eucalypt lined creeks.

We then head out of the hills and east to the south coast wilderness of the Barrens Range and the Fitzgerald National Park.

We arrive at Quaalup Homestead, our accommodation for the night at the base of West Mt Barren, in time for a drink and a mingle with the many kangaroos which gather to feed on the front grass at dusk.

Next morning we venture into the park, seeking out the world's most diverse range of rare, strange and exquisite wildflowers and plant species, along remote 4WD tracks. From Pt Anne, where we have morning tea, we can often see the southern right whales which return each year to this wild coastline to give birth and nurture their young. Miles of white beaches stretch out before us. Around the whale observation post the flowers grow right down to the sea.

We head north along the Fitzgerald River valley, past the abandoned mine of prehistoric sponges at Twertup, where we have lunch.

Our tour takes different routes back to the city as the season progresses, to seek out the orchids as they come into flower, arriving back into Perth at roughly 7pm and Fremantle at 7.30 pm.
