3 Day Mt Magnet - Coalseam Conservation Park Tour
At Wildflower Time
| Day 1 Perth - Mt Magnet |
After leaving Perth we travel through the Chittering Valley to New Norcia, where we stop for morning tea. On the way we should see blue leschenaultia and kangaroo paws. As we go further north we gradually see more and more varieties of wildflowers, with colourful everlastings in pinks, yellows and white starting to appear around Dalwallinu. Our way to Paynes Find, where we stop for lunch, is now lined with wildflowers. We are now well and truly in wildflower country where the colours of the flowers contrast with the red of the earth. Mt Magnet is our home for the next two nights.

| Day 2 Mt Magnet |
After a cooked breakfast we drive to Cue, where we stop to explore this historic goldmining centre with its recently restored buildings, and have morning tea. Then it is on to the deserted township of Big Bell and the ruins of an hotel that reflects the economic success it experienced in its heyday. Then to Walga Rock, where we have lunch and take the afternoon to explore this amazing natural wonder with its Aboriginal rock art and masses of wildflowers, including carpets of everlastings. | |
| Day 3 Mt Magnet - Perth |
Today we have the opportunity to spot the famous wreath flower as well as the many varieties of other spectacular wildflowers as we travel through Yalgoo where we have morning tea and then to Mullewa and Coalseam Conservation Park for lunch. The park guarantees a spectacular display of sweeps of colourful everlastings and views of the Irwin River. We return to Perth via Gingin. (Morning tea not included in the fare today.)
