PERENJORI AND COOROW, MORE WILDFLOWERS
We left Morowa and travelled the short distance to Perenjori, checking in to their sole caravan park fairly early to avoid the mid afternoon rush. We found all of the caravan parks in the wildflower area to be of a good general standard and we had no trouble getting a site without booking ahead, generally staying in each town for two or three days. Incidentally, you won’t find many of these parks in the caravan directories – it’s best to go online.
The first place to visit in Perenjori (as in all others) was the visitors information centre where we armed ourselves with local maps of likely wildflower hot spots and chatted to the very friendly person on duty. Many of these people are volunteers and they do a wonderful job. The only disappointing tourist information centres are generally those run by councils using council employees – they are generally interested only in gaining commissions from tour operators and accommodation providers.
We found that the numbers and variety of wildflowers in WA in September are truly amazing. While the wildflowers are not everywhere, (bearing in mind that these are largely agricultural areas) there are many areas where the wildflowers go on as far as the eye can see.
It is a bit difficult to accurately portray the extent of wildflowers by photo, but the pics with this blog will give you a good idea.
Enjoy!!!
NEXT. PERTH and turning the corner towards home.
