❤️💚 Red and Green Kangaroo Paws (Anigozanthos manglesii) are currently blooming around Perth and are just beautiful. Early spring is their peak flowering season so if you are in the area, we highly recommend taking a wildflower walk - be sure to keep an eye out for these stunning flowers which are also WA’s floral emblem! #kangaroopaw #wildflowers

Western Australia’s South West offers breathtaki

Western Australia’s South West offers breathtaking beauty and diversity, including rugged coastlines, dazzling wildflowers, abundant wildlife and majestic towering forests. Now is the time to #wanderoutyonder to this wonderful region as the wildflowers bloom from September to November 🌸
Grab your camera and join Coates on our South West National Parks tour leaving early October, when the vibrant floral colours are rich and bright and contrast beautifully with the blue coast and green forests. Please see our website for more information (and for those who cannot join us this year, luckily the flowers will be back blooming in 2021 🌼)

Zebra Finches spotted on the Connie Sue Highway, W

Zebra Finches spotted on the Connie Sue Highway, WA. These little guys are the most common and widespread Australian grassfinches, but we still love to see them on tour! Only a small amount of rainfall will send them into a breeding frenzy, also known as irruptive breeding (boom-bust dynamics). They also pair for life 🧡
If you are interested in travelling on the Connie Sue Hwy (a remote outback track travelling through the Great Victoria Desert and pristine arid landscapes), our WA Outback tour has a few last minute places available! We also camp at the Eyre Bird Observatory, a favourite site for birdwatching, amongst many other highlights! Please see our website for more information and see you out yonder!

Granny Bonnets (Isotropis cuneifolia). These lovel

Granny Bonnets (Isotropis cuneifolia). These lovely pea plants are native to Western Australia and are very common after bushfires. The back of the standard has beautiful venations (top left) which are often considered more striking than the front face of the flower. Early colonists considered this plant dangerous to livestock leading to its other local name Lamb Poison. Granny Bonnets can be distinguished from other Isotropis species by their long tapering cuneate leaves and the single flower at the tip of a long stem.

Western Australia has so much to offer, from reef

Western Australia has so much to offer, from reef to ranges to forests and deserts 🏝⛰🌳🏜 While many of us are familiar with the coral coast and the south-west, the golden centre of WA remains more of a mystery.
The Gibson Desert is one of five deserts found in Western Australia, located in the heart of our interior arid zone. It is about as remote as you can get and is rarely visited by tourists, meaning the wilderness remains in almost pristine condition.
If you would like to learn more about this fascinating place, or join Coates in 2021 as we explore the Gibson Desert bioregion, please see the link in our bio. See you in the outback!

Banksia hookeriana, also known as Hooker’s Banks

Banksia hookeriana, also known as Hooker’s Banksia.
This lovely banksia can be found in the Geraldton Hills, the Lesueur Sanplains and the Perth metro area. Flowering occurs from April to October, attracting many native birds and insects. This banksia is also used to produce cut flowers due to its vibrant colours and longevity in vases.
If you are interested in experiencing WA’s magnificent wildflower season, take a look at our Mid West Wildflower tour (please find the link in our bio). We hope you can join us! 🌼 #wildflowers #banksia
