25.01.2022 Still plenty of flights arriving on this landing strip!

23.01.2022 All of this amazing colour seen during a short walk on today’s coastal and wildlife eco tour! #southwestecodiscoveries @ South West Eco Discoveries

23.01.2022 A nocturnal wildlife experience is a fun way to get the most out of your school holiday time #downsouth. Accomodation pickups around 6pm Busselton, Dunsborough and Cowaramup. @southwestecodiscoveries.

22.01.2022 If you have a keen eye a small metallic green beetle called a Little Green Spring Scarab can be seen. Yellow seems to be the dominant colour in our first spring flowering plants including the Prickly Moses and many others, also beautiful carpets of red draping over the flora coming from the coral vine in this shot taken from an iPhone 11

21.01.2022 If spider orchids are the elegant queens of the bush, the purple tassles are the punk rockers!

21.01.2022 Today is #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay. These Brushtail possums are threatened mostly due to habitat destruction. Possums love Eucalyptus so if you have the choice.... #keepitnative

19.01.2022 This is Pigzy, her mother was tragically hit on the south west roads a many years ago, her outlook was bleak ..., after adoption and rehabilitation @yelverton_brook she is now a great success story sharing her love with visitors to @australias_southwest and definitely the kids favourite!

18.01.2022 Just when it seems the wildflowers are degrading out pops the Mulla Mulla to brighten things up again. We see two members of the family and they can be found growing close together. This one is the ‘easy to spot’ P. manglesii the other species P. drummondii is a bit harder to spot!

17.01.2022 Three fingers of limestone pointing towards the next closest land mass....south africa approx 7701km away

14.01.2022 Still plenty of time to enjoy #spring in the Parks of Cape Naturaliste. This season has already been a stand out with some incredible #wildlife spotting and #wildflower discoveries on all of our tours!

13.01.2022 I’ll grow into my ears one day The newest attraction on our nocturnal wildlife tour is a baby brushtail possum! Book a tour today with part proceeds going back into the sanctuary.

13.01.2022 Little taste of summer colours on this patch of sand...... And just when you thought summmer was on its way ,,, the cool change hits

13.01.2022 ‘Churpede churpede churrrrrp’ Easy to hear, hard to spot. Some of these Robins are uncommon in the South West so its great seeing them along certain parts of the trail.

12.01.2022 The Angled Satin Moth making the most of the recent burst of colour in the bush. FACT- There are 22 000 different species of moth in Australia.

11.01.2022 Surround yourself with nature and experience the true @margaretriverregion. Sometimes the wildlife watches us and it feels like we are the animals on show!

11.01.2022 Plenty of ‘bobbies’ starting to emerge as the weather slowly warms, please stay vigilant on the roads and watch out for our scaley little friends.

10.01.2022 Time to explore your own backyard......, at night. See these adorable #bandicoots and more on a nocturnal experience into a private wildlife sanctuary. mobile friendly booking via our secure website - (part proceeds donated to sanctuary)

10.01.2022 Humpback Whales migrating past Geographe Bay have been offering some exceptional whale watching on our Coastal and Wildlife Tour! Did you know? Humpback Whales have giant pectoral fins 1/3 their body length! The largest appendage in the animal kingdom!

10.01.2022 Wildflowers starting to change the look of the tracks and trails around the Capes. With #wildflowers growing so close to the edge of the cliffs its easy to get that dramatic view with the flowers and coastline combo ||

09.01.2022 XL beach break firing on all cylinders a few days ago.

08.01.2022 The trifecta of orchids seen @margaretriver coastal and wildlife eco tour, all within meters of each other.

08.01.2022 The coastline is visible for as far as the eye can see and the huge granite boulders are certainly dramatic. This makes for the perfect opportunity to test out the panorama function on that new device!

07.01.2022 The adult #FlowerWasp often collect the nectar and pollen from the grass tree flower spike, a great food source that’s exploited by many a insect species, as in this instance the wingless female is carried by the male.

07.01.2022 The Blue Lady Orchid or, Queen Orchid (Thelymitra crinita) has uniformly intense blue sepals and petals, each plant may have many flowers which provide a beautiful sight on a sunny day.

07.01.2022 The Donkey orchids are a real favourite along the walk trails. So many options when taking pictures, as you can line up wildflowers in the background and mix the colours up!

06.01.2022 Its officially impossible to watch the antics of Joey Kangaroos fresh out of the pouch without a smile on your dial.

04.01.2022 The Hairy Mary caterpillar (anthelidae) gets its name from the hair like bristles that cover its body. Evolved as a defence against predators it also secretes irritating chemicals that can sting the skin if touched with a bare hand. #hairymary #southwestecodiscoveries

03.01.2022 Red-tailed Black Cockatoos spend most of their life in the tree tops, landing only briefly each day to drink. They are wary and often move on if an observer gets closer than about 50m. They tend to stick to the forest, rarely flying across cleared land unless nesting or feeding in paddock trees. This is likely a strategy to decrease their exposure to predators such as Wedge-tailed Eagles.

02.01.2022 The Chapmans spider orchid is the spidery-est spider orchid of them all. With the half unfurled petals resembling a black widows legs.
