Wildflowers

Morawa is known as the Heart of the Wildflowers for a very good reason. Morawa is one of the most prolific areas for native flowering plants. Roam throughout our Shire, during late winter and early October, stopping at any of our numerous reserves and you could come across many species of wildflowers unique to this district.

Carpets of everlastings are a feature and attraction however the area is known world wide for the unique and distinctive Wreath Flower (Leschenaultia macrantha).
