Australia is fantastically diverse, let us help you explore this vast and ancient continent. Many of the plants and animals indigenous to Australia are some of the most peculiar on Earth.
Western Australia
Isolated for eons by desert and ocean, this region, larger than Europe, is particularly captivating. Its arid interior contrasts with its beautiful and dramatic coast. Both contain a huge variety of endemic flowering plants, birds and animals.
The diversity of wildflowers in Western Australia is legendary. Nowhere on the planet is as diverse, nor spectacular. Spring is the time to visit this part of the continent.
Tall forest, woodland, shrubland and coastal heath are home to thousands of endemic species. In addition experience a wonderful range of wildlife, from dugongs to threatened marsupials including tammar wallabies, brushtail possums, and woylies. Then there are Emus and tiny fairy-wrens, along with spectacular parrots such as Carnaby’s Cockatoo and red capped parrots, for which Australia is renowned.
Highlights include
- National parks at Kalbarri, Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River reveal dramatic canyons, lofty peaks and coastal heathland
- A colourful display of banksias, grevilleas, hakeas, myrtles, kangaroo paws and many more including the stunning wreath flower
- Wildlife including the marsupials, several species of kangaroos and wallabies, echidna, and arboreal possums
