Bringing the Beauty of Australia’s
Wildflowers to you, A Nomads Journey
From the striking wildflowers that steal the spotlight to the humble lichens, mosses, and fungi that quietly carpet the earth, this webpage is a casual chronicle of our encounters with the botanical wonders that Australia has to offer.
As we meander through the green coasts and rainforests, the red of the remote Kimberley and the golden sands of the desert regions, I’ll be sharing an amateur’s observations and marvelling at the incredible diversity that exists in our native landscapes.
I do not have any degree in botany, simply a genuine passion for Australian flowers. While I have made every effort in identification, I am sure that I have gone astray on occasion and am happy to make corrections as necessary.
The code ’99’ in the photo identification is just our means of flagging weeds and introduced species. Why have I included non-natives? Because introduced they may be, but they can still produce a striking flower. Identification is necessary whether they are escapees from domestic gardens, noxious or invasive.
I have categorised plants into the states where I found them, and often plants will appear in more than one state. If you are looking for a particular plant and can’t find it, try another state.
So, whether you’re a seasoned plant enthusiast, a fellow caravan nomad, or someone like me, with a curiosity for the wonders of the natural world, join us on our adventure through the Aussie wildflowers. Let’s explore, learn, and revel in the beauty of the bush, one petal at a time.

An Exceptional Discovery
House Shape Plant
My favourite discoveries are those that are unexpected and unusual, such as Lechenaultia divaricata, commonly known as the tangled Lechenaultia or wirebush. I stumbled upon this hidden gem, amidst the scrub on the dry banks of the Strzelecki Creek while travelling the Strzelecki Track from South Australia to Queensland. It was early morning and I was in my pyjamas with not another soul for miles. Flowers were on display in the cool of the morning only to close and disappear from sight as it became increasingly hot.
This small, wiry flower is related to the well-known and celebrated wreath flowers (Lechenaultia macrantha) of Western Australia. It is not as prolific as its cousin but in my view, it is equally as impressive. There's just something magical about stumbling upon these lesser-known blooms while exploring the vast, open spaces of Australia.
