Wildflowers of Western Australia, including Everlastings, Kangaroo Paw, Boronia, Sturt's Desert Pea, Wattle, Featherflower, Qualup Bell, Eremophila, Geraldton Wax, Verticordia, Grevillea, Hakea, and many other species, make a colourful display at the 2008 Kings Park Festival. Of special interest is the 750 year-old Giant Boab (Adansonia gregorii) which was recently transported over 3,200 kms from the Kimberley Region as a gift from the Indigenous Gija people to the people of Western Australia. 'Gija Jumulu' is a majestic tree which will hopefully adjust to its new location and live for many more years.

Photos from a recent visit to Albany on the south coast of Western Australia include Beach Scenes, a walk along the Coastal Pathway for Ocean Views and Wildflowers in season, watch the Submarine HMAS Collins leaving Princess Royal Harbour, Bushwalk at Yakamia among the Sheoaks and Wildflowers, enjoy Garden Flowers from my daughter's garden and the family Dogs and Cats, then walk the new bridge linking Albany Town Centre to the new Waterfront Development Project to get previously unseen views of Albany.
