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.

Travel south through the Western Australian countryside to the small country town of Nannup where the streets come alive with colourful Tulips and Daffodils in August. Walk the streets to view the flowers, historic buildings, learn about the 'Nannup Tiger' and the Flood of 1982 when the Blackwood River peaked at a 125 ARI. On the way, enjoy the scenic views of the Leschenault Inlet at Australind and visit the Old Cheese Factory at Balingup on the return journey.
