Wreath Flower in Mullewa WA
Taking you into the heart of wildflower country, Mullewa is a six hour drive north of Perth and just over one hour’s drive east of Geraldton. If you take the time to make the journey part of the experience, you’re in for a great ride.
From July to October, a drive along the Everlastings Wildflower Trail leads you through some of the flora hotspots. These form part of the largest collection of wildflowers on Earth. Many are unique to the region, including the striking wreath flower. The flower is one of the stars of the Mullewa Annual Wildflower Show held in late August. Hit the Wildflower Walk starting at Lovers Lane or, for a spring picnic on a blanket of everlastings, head for Coalseam Conservation Park.
In this transitional zone between mulga and eucalypt woodlands, keen birdwatchers will be rewarded with the chance to view some of the region’s 140 plus species.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Mullewa
The Amazing Architecture of Monsignor John Hawes
The town is blessed with man-made beauty too. There is an enchanting church designed and built by Mullewa’s most famous resident, Catholic priest and architect Monsignor John Hawes. His work includes the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Holy Apostles St Peter and St Paul . There is also the Priest House (now known as the Monsignor Hawes Priest House Museum). Following the four-day Monsignor Hawes Heritage Trail, you’ll find the man himself just as awe-inspiring as his 15 fine works that dot the landscape from Geraldton and Northampton to Yalgoo, Morawa and Perenjori. Or, for a shorter walk through his amazing life, hit the 500 metre long Hawes Heritage Trail on foot.
Mullewa also marks the finishing line for those tackling the De Grey Stock Route, following in the tracks of the early stockmen from Port Headland. The natural waterfall seven kilometres east of Mullewa was a popular watering hole in the winter months and, today, it’s a favourite picnic spot for locals and visitors alike.
