EXPLORE THE PILBARA WILDFLOWERS TRAIL
DISCOVER POPS OF COLOUR ACROSS THE PILBARA
Vibrant floral shades contrast with the rich red earth and golden spinifex grass. The Pilbara’s flora is yours to explore.
Over half a million square kilometres of mangroves, off-shore islands, deep gorges, mountain ranges, desert sand dunes and river pools ensure the Pilbara’s flora is as diverse as the landscape.
Plants and flowers in the Pilbara have evolved unique adaptations to survive in an arid climate that receives most of its rainfall during summer by way of tropical cyclones.
Watercourses are lined with river red gums, coolibah, silver cadjeput and desert bloodwood trees. Gorges contain permanent water supplies to support moisture loving plants like the common rock fig and rock kurrajong.

Did you know the Karijini National Park is home to over 500 species of native flora, including some rare species?
From July to September wildflowers of all colours, sizes and shapes, like the unmistakeable Sturt’s desert pea, fluffy mulla mulla, the tall majestic Ashburton pea or any number of the 65 species of Acacia (wattle) can be seen throughout the region.
For the local Indigenous people the plants and flowers of the Pilbara provided much more than just aesthetic qualities, and are still used today for food, medicine and ceremonial use.
