22.01.2022 As amazing are these images of the Lambs Tail or Lachnostachys verbascifolia it's nothing compared to getting a first hand experience of these cute and fascinating plants (which you must put on your bucket list to see) and many others that many visitors got to enjoy during the Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show over the past couple of weeks. A big thanks to Mark for providing these special flowers to display at the show. #wanderoutyonder #Hopetoun #Ravensthorpe Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show and Herbarium #FitzgeraldCoast Western Australia #roadtripcountry #botanicalwonderland #BiosphereReserve #WAWildflowers Australia.com

20.01.2022 From Saturday, 5 December 2020, West Australians will be required to check-in when entering most public venues such as food and licenced venues (restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, taverns, nightclubs), visitor centres, galleries, museums to name a few. The aim is to help improve WA Department of Health's contact tracing capabilities and it will be a mandatory requirement for affected businesses and venues to maintain a contact register for staff and patrons. To find out more a...nd to see the full list of businesses and venues affected please visit www.wa.gov.au To help businesses and venues streamline the contact register process the WA Government has developed an online system through the free #SafeWA app which uses QR codes to provide a simple, contactless digital #Covid19 register. Businesses will still be required to provide the option of a written contact register for people who do not have a smart phone or choose not to use the app. To avoid potential delays and lengthy queues signing numerous registers as you #wanderoutyonder, visitors may wish to download the app to their smartphones from the Apple App Store or Google Play before travelling.
