Highlights

Venture into the vast open landscapes between Merredin, Kalgoorlie and Menzies to discover some of our planet’s most precious natural and man-made wonders. See the world's largest and healthiest temperate forest, the Great Western Woodlands, filled with blooms of one of the biggest wildflower displays on Earth. Walk the white salt bed of Lake Ballard to view the striking Antony Gormley statues, and perhaps take a moment to gaze into one of the largest open-cut gold mines on Earth.

Please note;

- Wildflowers generally bloom in this region between September and November, and displays are more prolific after good winter rains.

- To help protect our pristine environment, can we request that you don’t pick wildflowers – it’s illegal and will attract fines. As beautiful as they are, it’s also important to stay out of canola fields to prevent the spread of disease.

- Finally, we’d like to remind you to not enter private property to access wildflowers.

Please check the latest Golden Quest Discovery Trail information at Kalgoorlie-Boulder Pure Gold or the local visitor centres. Visit the Department of Parks and Wildlife website for information about national park entry fees, passes, facilities, recreational activities, camping and more.
