Moora - Western Australia

Описание: The town is situated in one of the most interesting wildflower areas of the state. There are two distinct botanical areas around the town and this results in a great variety of different flowers appearing each year between August and October. There are a number of wildflower drives around the town ranging in length from 5 to 31 kilometres.

A useful collection of information about the district's early pioneers was published by the Moora Historical Society and the Shire of Moora in 1980 titled 'Some Commemorated Pioneers of the Moora District 1847-1917.'

North of Moora, a little south of Watheroo on the east side of the road is the Western Wildflower Farm. The farm produces dried wildflowers for the domestic and international markets and it is an excellent place to gain some insight into the wildflowers of W.A.

The farm also has a shop where you can buy locally produced wildflower gifts as well as a host of related items. You can sit and watch a video about the area and enjoy morning or afternoon tea or lunch.

During wildflower season the farm has about 120 visitors a day and provides up-to-date information about the best places to visit in the area to see the latest blooms.
