Ravensthorpe, WA
Ravensthorpe is about 542 km south east of the City of Perth in Western Australia. A small population and lovely wild flowers in the area. We visited this town well before coming across the Nullarbor and it was wonderful to see some of the flowers, the two types of Banksia and the Red Kangaroo Paws growing in their natural habitat.

I love both of those - never seen either of them before. The red kangaroo paws would look lovely in a dried grass arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI have several more photos of Banksias will post them eventually. Sister in law has the red kangaroo paws going at her beach house...I took a photo of it today actually.
DeleteOh M they are beautiful. Love the name Red Kangaroo Paws:) I bet you wish you were travelling right now. HUGS xoxo G

DeleteFabulous flowers. I remember that area well because of its flowers. We actually were there when there was a flower show .
ReplyDeleteIt's good to remember flowers especially after seeing only trees, but no matter where you go in Australia or what time of years, somewhere there are flowers blooming.
