The Gascoyne is part of WA's internationally renowned region for spectacular wildflowers. Peak wildflower season is dependent on the timing and abundance of seasonal rains but generally the best time to visit for wildflowers is from July – August.

The Gascoyne is known to host some of the most vibrant wildflowers in the state, such as Mulla mulla, Purple Haze, Sturt desert peas and Everlastings.

This is what Australia’s Coral Coast has seen so far this season.
