On 2nd September 2009, four of us did the 2.8 km. Wildflower Walk
at Mullewa (pronounced ‘Mull a
war’), a town 452 km. north of Perth & 99
km east of Geraldton, Western Australia and having a population of
about only 1,200. It is renowned for its carpets of 'everlastings'
and the wreath flower during the wildflower season from July to
November. 'Everlastings' are so called as once cut they last for a
long time. This is a remake of a clip uploaded before, with added
musical soundtrack created using Apple's 'Soundtrack' software.

and the trails throughout are great for children to ride bikes and
easy to lug all of the kids stuff to the beach. Our whole family
had a terrific time!! The best tip I could give would be to call
the office and ask about the amenities provided in the home you
have reserved. We found that we could have packed a lot less. The
house had a well stocked kitchen, all soaps were provided, there
were bikes to borrow, and even beach toys in the house we stayed

Suzanne's extensive experience as a Vice-President of Merchandising

passion for retail with her own company. Her love of Lexi gave her
the inspiration for LexiDog; a place where dogs are our children
who deserve to be a little spoiled, as well as a 'social' place
where parents could bring their dog to a fun, loving and safe
daycare while they were at work, and enjoy 'social' activities
centered around their pet.

The wetland is a great place to take kids to teach them about
nature! No two visits are ever exactly the same. The place is in a
constant state of natural change. At various legs of the journey
there are signs that will help guide the walker as to what to look
for at various seasons. In the past I've seen a number of native
plants like camas, and a variety of birds and have heard crickets
and even frogs.
