#WhereTheWildflowersAre
Get a sense of the beginnings of the Margaret River region wildflower season through a photographic essay from Perth-based photographer Rachel Claire. From the Cape to Cape track to secret spots around townsites, this time of year sees an incredible array of wildflowers in abundance - all there for you to discover.
In her introduction, local journalist and experience seeker Sarina Kamini writes: "Tread carefully. Stick to the paths. Find a guide. Admire the beauty. And leave the landscape as it was found. Spring wildflower season is a view of the vulnerable underbelly of the bush in all its diverse beauty."
