Take the inland route to Cervantes via Gingin, following the Great Northern and Brand highways through wildflower country. Stop at Gingin to admire the large red gums along Dewar Road and the striking kangaroo paws at the cemetery. It’s also worth taking a detour to Moore River National Park, especially in October when the Western Australian Christmas tree and open-branched dryandra kippistiania are in bloom. Head for Badgingarra National Park from the coast or on the inland road to experience a spring wildflower wonderland. The two-kilometre Badgingarra Nature Trail on the eastern side of the park leads you through black and yellow kangaroo paws and purple starflower and mottlecah. From here, you’re just an hour’s drive away from Cervantes for a feast of fresh local seafood and stunning Indian Ocean sunsets.
