I felt the best areas were south of Kalbarri. The trip can take as long as you want, but as we were touring in our caravan, we took our time. We explored Eneabba area beginning of October.<br />Information Centres in WA should have a booklet on routes to take & what to maybe expect to see. Information centres also should have information on where to stay. Most caravan parks have units / cabins to stay in, but I don't know of the costs. If you are from O/S, please be aware of some large distances between towns in Australia, depending on what part of the country you are visiting.<br /> A Wildflower touring booklet may tell you the best times to see certain areas. Google Information Centre for perhaps Kalbarri & either email or phone them to see if they will send you a Wildflower touring booklet.<br />I hope this helps, but please don't hesitate to ask more questions if you need it. I may be able to help, but I don't live in WA - I'm on the other side of the country around Brisbane Queensland.<br />cheers<br />Sueournomadicwayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315597370483132200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510116693653463924.post-34506447078145026632016-09-04T18:20:44.438-07:002016-09-04T18:20:44.438-07:00What can I say, thank you for these beautiful pics...What can I say, thank you for these beautiful pics, have always wanted to see this spectacle, how long does it last and what is the best route and accommodation, moderately priced?Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462209324200945789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510116693653463924.post-39705244333369786212012-10-08T22:11:09.171-07:002012-10-08T22:11:09.171-07:00Hi Francesca. Many thanks for your link & info...Hi Francesca. Many thanks for your link & info. I googled in English. Apparently this pretty flower is a Freesia. Originating from South Africa. It is now considered a "weed" in West Australia in the Southern parts around the wheat belt. It isn't noxious, but still on the weed list. Many plants or animals brought into Australia, when left to roam outside yard enclosures, becomes a pest. The cane toad was brought in to control the Cane Beetle. It didn't do the job, but is now roaming uncontrolled & reaching many parts of our beautiful country. Unfortunately it kills off our native frogs & many frogs are threatening extinction. The cane toad has poisonous glands & kills many animals including domestic pet dogs if they try to play with this noxious toad. Very sad indeed. <br />I don't think the flower I took a picture of had several on it's stem as in the googled information.<br />Thanks again<br />Sueournomadicwayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315597370483132200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510116693653463924.post-46684249134007214832012-10-08T10:21:14.642-07:002012-10-08T10:21:14.642-07:00http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freesia
Hey Sue!Revi...http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freesia<br /><br />Hey Sue!Revisiting your blog, I was struck by the last white flower. In Spain there is a similar species: the freesia.Ithink she is it. It comes from South Africa and may be adapted to Australia,so the British Empire .<br /> Here's the link in Spanish but you can translate it into English. So the two practice both languages.<br />Many regards . FranchescaFranchescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013874068869879551noreply@blogger.com
