Spring is in the air in Australia! The days and nights are a little warmer, and daylight lasts a little bit longer. Perfect weather to get outdoors and explore Australia in Spring.

Flowers and spring are synonymous, and smelling flowers has been proven to do some good to your body. Smelling flowers actually lower cortisol levels, reduce blood pressure and promote restful sleep. Flowers can naturally improve your mood, stimulate the brain to release dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin (happy hormones), and reduces stress. 

So lets get outdoors and check out some Spring flowers:

Wildflower Country, WA

Western Australia doesn’t just put on the largest show of wildflowers in Australia, they put on the largest wildflower show on Earth.

Western Australia has more than 12,000 species of wildflowers and some are completely unique and can’t be seen anywhere else on the planet.

Wildflower Country starts from the north of Perth and runs all the way up north to Exmouth, along the north west coast. It consists of nine local government areas and is one of the most colourful road trips you’ll ever do. 

There are many different wildflower trails you can do, but visiting Lesueur National Park is a must. Located nearly three hours north of Perth, it has wildflowers that can’t be found anywhere else on this planet.

Western Australia Tourism have their own app for wildflowers you can download. Check for the Wildflower Tracker app before hitting Wildflower Country.

Did you know picking flowers is illegal in Wildflower Country? You could face fines of up to $2,000.

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, QLD

Starting from the 12th September, the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers runs over four flower-filled weekends.

Every year, a team of gardeners plant over 150,000 seedlings and bulbs so when Spring hits the city bursts into colour with stunning expertly curated floral displays showcased in Queens Park Botanic Gardens, Laurel Bank Park, Spring Bluff Railway Station and the Picnic Point Lookout.

There’s also a Lawn Party, Floral Parade, a Paw Parade, a FEASTival, and Twilight tours to enjoy.

 The festival has themed celebrations on each weekend of the festival – Turkish weekend, Dutch weekend, Irish weekend, as well as two Kids weekends, a live Jazz weekend, and a Rock’n’Rock weekend.  

Three Views Track, Kangaroo Valley, NSW

Three View Walking Track in Spring

In Morton National Park, the Three Views Walking Track in Springtime is one of the most beautiful trails in Kangaroo Valley – and that’s just the trail – that’s not even counting the three views you get on the trail. 

The walk is an easy and accessible wildflower walking trail that takes you to three views: 5.7 km return Shoalhaven River View, 3.4 km return Lake Yarrunga View and the 4 km return Tallowa Dam View, making it a 13kms return walk in total. 

Each lookout takes you to a rocky viewpoint with a couple of rock scrambling moves before taking you amazing views of Lake Yarrunga, Tallowa Dam and the Shoalhaven River.

The trail is mostly flat and easy, making it ideal for all fitness levels and ages, but take care at the unfenced cliff edges at all lookouts.
