Western Australia is renowned for its diversity of plants and animals. Our magnificent wildflowers begin blooming in mid-winter in the north of the State and sweep south to end the season in mid to late summer along the cooler south coast.

Our unusual native animals continue to fascinate visitors from around the world and many are growing in abundance thanks to innovative projects and programs developed to fight against feral predators.
