Having found that the walk to the Pinnacle (click here for previous post) from the Sundial carpark was reasonably quiet we decided to take the trail to Sundial Peak from the same carpark the next day. It didn't take long to see our first wildflowers of the day. We soon had our first view of …

Mid afternoon we drove out about 12 kms to Reeds Lookout carpark and made the short walk to the lookout. Even from the start of the trail there was an excellent view.

Sadly Perth's winter weather had taken a turn for the worse but a few days after our excursion to Fremantle we took the train into Perth and took a bus up to Kings Park. We had been here in spring one year previously so we thought it would be interesting to visit in late winter. …
Less than half an hour from Jurien Bay is one of those rare gems we were fortunate to visit whilst in Western Australia. Lesueur National Park may not be big but for plant/flower enthusiasts it is fabulous. After travelling part of the way there on a sealed road the last part is gravel. However on …

As our next planned stopping point was Jurien Bay we made our way cross country from Western Flora Caravan Park at Arrowsmith towards the coast. Initially we were on Highway 1 before turning onto the Coolimba-Eneabba Rd that took us across towards the coast where we joined onto Indian Ocean Drive (State Route 60). Along …
