Hi J & H
We have just got back today (Mon) from 4 days up that way. We took our caravan and our first night was spent at Arrino, a roadside stop area that has a very clean flushing toilet (keeps SWMBO happy), a bit of traffic noise but we lived with it. Next day we went through to coalseam NP , lots of flowers but as the dominant colour is yellow and for the past day we had been travelling through miles and miles of yellow canola I thought it watered down the impact a bit. Still worth the visit though.We overnighted at Mullewa CP, ($17.50/night) excellent value. The local wildflower walk (starts opposite the CP) is well worth it. In Mullewa we were told that wreath flowers can be seen on the Wongoondy Tardun Rd (Between Colaseam and Mullewa) and for orchids the local store in Canna can put you on the right track.We did not have time to back track to these locations) Next day we went to Yalgoo via Pindar (good showing of flowers around Pindar with wreath flowers just coming out about 11kms to the north- follow signs from town) We then made our way via the Yalgoo Ninghan Rd south to overnight at Ninghan Stn. This section of our trip and for the first hour or so this morning was the most colourful with a good showing of many varieties/colours of flowers. We left the Great Northern H'Way and came down Goodlands Road to check out the wreath flowers, whilst there were many bushes to be seen it is still a bit early only a few had commenced flowering. Not sure what it will be like in a few weeks time but hopefully the above may help in some way , back to the grindstone tomorrow. Regards alanc
