There’s a whole world of colour, clever adaptations and tiny natural treasures waiting to be discovered in John Forrest National Park… you just need to know where to look!
Grab your young explorers and join us for Ways to Be Wild: Wildflower Quest; a fun, family-friendly guided adventure that turns a walk through the bush into a real-life nature treasure hunt.
Armed with a Wildflower Heroes Quest sheet, we’ll become wildflower detectives as we search the trail for colourful blooms, tiny orchids and all kinds of botanical treasures hiding in plain sight. Each hero includes simple identification clues and fascinating facts to help curious minds learn more about the plants we discover.
Along the way, your experienced Off The Beaten Track WA guides will help bring the bushland to life. We’ll investigate flower shapes, colours, textures and habitats while learning about pollinators, plant adaptations and the fascinating relationships that help our native flora survive.
We’ll also learn how to explore gently—observing and photographing wildflowers without picking, trampling or disturbing them.
This relaxed 5km experience has been designed for families, children aged six and over, and nature-curious adults. There will be plenty of opportunities to pause, ask questions, take photographs and enjoy being outside together.
We’ll finish with herbal tea and a light morning or afternoon tea while we tally our discoveries and celebrate the heroes and unexpected treasures we found along the way.
Come and get wild and unleash your inner wildflower detective to discover just how much wonder is hiding along the trail.
