The world-renowned botanists, photographers and film-makers who visit this The Midwest of Western Australia, rub their eyes at the richness of the year-round flowering plants that grow here - one of the world's most wildflower rich areas.

But the wildflowers are not the only attraction in the Mid West. A region rich in history, it offers an exciting combination of outback experiences and coastal activities. There are national parks to explore, sheer coastal cliffs to marvel at, authentic outback stations to visit, offshore islands to dive from, adventurous activities such as abseiling, rock climbing, canoeing, sunset horse rides, and one of the world's richest collections of seafood to sample.
