Coalseam 2020 – Everlastings and Canola

We’ve been to Coalseam Conservation Park a handful of times before, but we read that the flowers were ready to burst open up there and after about 5 rainy days straight in Perth, it was very enticing to go 4 hours north just to escape the wet and windy conditions and get some sun.

canola in the distance
Not too far up the road, we could already see canola in the distance.

There was plenty to see we would soon find out, in our drive north. I used to not like the smell, but now I am used to it. To the point I prefer to buy margarine only with canola in it.
long straight road
A four hour drive in Western Australia is going to have some long, straight roads.
town, train and canola
I liked as we drove through a town, with a train, an intersection, a general store and some other things, canola fields were still boldly in the background.
Going through puddles
Finally entering Coalseam…John is still the little boy that likes to go through puddles.
everlasting daisies
It didn’t take long to see the everlastings.
panorama
I tried a panorama as no one photo could show them all off.
our truck in the flowers
As I stand in the middle of a million flowers, a look back to our truck.

My new favorite combo, pink everlastings and canola!
endless ever lastings
We just kept driving, and the flowers were endless.
another puddle
Another fun puddle for John to drive through
If you look as far back o the background of this photo, you can see how far back the flowers keep going. This wasn’t in just one spot, it was like this riding around everywhere.

Finally, I gave up trying to capture the immenseness of all the flowers in photos, I got out my phone to get a movie…It was a two day ordeal to upload to YouTube. Enjoy
