  • 3 Day 3: Kalbarri National Park

    Millions of years ago, the Murchison River carved its way through Kalbarri National Park, leaving behind echo-inspiring gorges of red-and-white banded sandstone as well as soaring coastal cliffs. It’s quite the sight, and best taken in from a height. Enter the Kalbarri Skywalk, a precipitous projection 25 metres beyond the gorge rim and a dizzying 100 metres above the river. Here you’ll be welcomed to Country by an Indigenous guide, explaining the stories behind the land on which you stand. On this MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, learn about bushfoods, medicine plants and the traditional uses of local flora. Hear stories about growing up on country and learn about the social history of the region from an Aboriginal perspective. Look around you – there’s plenty to eat in the Aussie bush, not to mention traditional medicines to cure what ails you.

    Meals: Breakfast
  • 4 Day 4: Kalbarri - Geraldton

    Step back in time – all the way to 1853 – when you arrive at Lynton Station, a former convict depot and homestead composed of a collection of historic limestone buildings. Just as eye-opening is Hutt Lagoon, an enormous lake that is sometimes bubblegum pink, sometimes lilac, and occasionally even red. The high salinity here determines its hue at different times of year. Your last stop is the moving HMAS Sydney Memorial, high on the hill overlooking Geraldton; it pays homage to the ship’s crew who were lost when it went down off the West Australian coast.

    Accommodation: Ocean Centre Hotel
    Meals: Breakfast

Welcome to The Pinnacles, jutting out from shifting yellow sands. You’re walking amid history on today’s Pinnacles tour: these structures were created millions of years ago as seashells were broken down into sand and then eroded by water and wind into the dramatic spires that pierce the sky today. After a scenic drive back to Perth, join your Travel Director and fellow wildflower lovers for dinner.

      Marea & James, NSW, Australia

      We had the best 7 days in WA on the wildflowers tour. Comfortable coach and Carolyn was the best tour director we have travelled with – her knowledge was outstanding and her personality is perfect for this occupation.

      We saw every wildflower there was to see from the beautiful wreath (see photo) to the orchid. The food was fantastic but such a shame the 2 breakfasts in Geraldton were not so good – too many carbs as it was “grab and go” style as they did not have a chef to cater for the advertised buffet breakfast. One doesn’t need a chef to put out some cereals, milk, juice, a couple of toasters, and an urn to have tea or coffee. That was the only disappointment. We had great weather and comfy hotel rooms.
