WILD FLOWERS GALORE

We stayed overnight in Esperance and the next day our tour bus headed west along the south coast to Albany for the next night. On the way we stopped a few times and each time we were surrounded by an abundance of wildflowers.
Blue Haven Beach
 The coastline was very scenic. The sea is an amazing colour here. 

 We stopped at Munglinup for morning tea but I was out snapping the flowers.

Acacia Tree or Wattle --our national flower.

Eucalyptus Tree and seed pods.
Then we drove on further through lovely scenery with much more vegetation than on the previous inland stretch. We came to the town of Ravensthorpe. 

A typical country home.
After lunch we walked through the town to the senior citizens hall where there was a flower show.
We passed this magnificent Bottle Brush Tree (Callistemon) on the way.
