Over more than forty years, author Simon Nevill has travelled to nearly every corner of Western Australia, driving the vast majority of the roads and tracks that criss-cross this mostly seldom-visited state. A professional photographer and inveterate traveller, he has a deep love of love and knowledge of the world of nature (he is the author of the bestselling Guide to the Wildflowers of Western Australia). This love permeates through his new Wildflower Journeys book and gives the reader a real understanding of the floral assemblies in this vast region.
Description
Local author Simon Nevill distills four decades of WA wildflower research and photography to create 10 journeys of wildflower discovery around the greater southwest region of Western Australia, one of the world's few recognised floral hotspots, boasting over 7,000 species. The ten journeys are designed to showcase as wide a range as possible and vary from easily accessible to some that require a 4WD in places. The book is highly illustrated with hundreds of wildflower photographs and dozens of mud-maps showing where the best wildflower-spotting places are. The journeys: Ellis Brook Valley Reserve, The Wandoo Woodland, a Shorter Northern Journey, a Longer Northern Journey, Wotto Nature Reserve to Mullewa, The Rocks, The Inner Wheatbelt, The Outer Wheatbelt, a Big South Coast Journey and a Deep South West Journey.
