Margaret River – A Wildflower Hot Spot!
Did you know the Margaret River region forms part of one of only 34 internationally recognised biodiversity hotspots in the world? Biodiversity hotspots are rich in many different species of flora but, unfortunately, are under threat. Our particular south west hot spot boasts over 150 orchid species and some 2,500 wildflower species alone!
Extreme climate shifts and poor soils have promoted a unique specialisation of the south west’s plant species including banksia plants and kangaroo paws while our majestic Jarrah, Marri and Karri forests are three eucalyptus trees specific to this corner of Australia.
Renowned for rare orchids and stunning wildflowers which attract botanical enthusiasts from around the world, you will be bewildered by the explosion of mesmerising colour and delicate designs nature has bestowed on this wildflower hotspot.
Experience these floral wonders on a fascinating guided wildflower tour which take place around some of the most impressive caves in Australia.
Visit our Hot Spots page to find out the best places and times to view our wonderful wildflowers or head to our Tours and Packages page to make the most of your wildflower journey in the peak wildflower season! And don't forget, with just a click of a button you can book your Accommodation and Tours of the region to complete your "down south" experience.
