From coastal routes passing by the glimmering sea to forested national parks, self-driving across Western Australia takes one through scenic paths as one searches for the most captivating beds of wildflowers
Western Australia prides itself on being home to the largest collection of wildflowers in the world and with the wildflowers season beginning soon in June in north of the state, there is no better way to appreciate the wildflowers than embarking on a self-drive road trip. Imagine the fresh breeze blowing through your hair and the fragrance of wildflowers scattered across verdant lands embracing you as you unwind in a self-drive tour and pass by vast lands blanketed by wildflowers. Bound to reward one with a sense of liberation, a self-drive tour across the state should not be missed this wildflowers season for travellers who are searching for the best spots for viewing wildflowers.
