The annual Blooming Wild Festival celebrates the wildflower season in the Southern Forests and Valleys. Celebrate the diversity and experience the magnificent natural gardens that make up the Southern Forests and Valleys region.
Encompassing the tall timber towns of Northcliffe, Pemberton, Manjimup and Walpole and the surrounding towns of Bridgetown, Greenbushes, Balingup and Nannup, the festival showcases the wide range of landscapes, flora and fauna over the Spring season.
Explore a range of self guided trails or join a guided tour or event.
SAVE THE DATE | BUGS AND BLOOMS WEEKEND | 11-13TH OCTOBER 2024
If you love bugs, blooms and photography then keep the weekend of 11-13 October free. Paul Irvine will be down to help us search for and photograph our local peacock spider species around Manjimup and Northcliffe. We will also have Beth Baker here for a flora photography workshop so it will be a great weekend. Once we have dates, times and costs finalised we will let you know.
