The wildflowers of Western Australia are one of the prettiest natural tourist attractions you'll find this Springtime. It's ths time of year that has many a WA resident heading on a weekend drive to the country to capture WA's at its arguable best. If you're stuck on where to go to see a great variety of wildflowers, then grab your sat nav and head to Perth's North East, to the rural town of Bindoon for the 2012 Chittering Wildflower Festival. Not only will you be able to enjoy walks in the surrounding countryside blessed with natures own wildflower displays, you'll also be able to catch the staged displays of wildflowers at the Chittering Wildflower festival and learn a bit more about all of the different types of spring fauna.
