Outback Bloom: Mullewa’s wildflower festival prepares for exceptional display of native flora

Mullewa’s biggest and most beautiful time of year is about to bloom, which brings with it an influx of visitors.

As the 2025 wildflower season draws closer, Mullewa is preparing for its Outback Bloom festival which will coincide with the Mullewa Agricultural Show.

This year, entry to the show is free thanks to sponsorship from Community Bank Geraldton Bendigo Bank.

Famous for its stunning array of native flora, Mullewa is gearing up to showcase some of the Mid West’s most breathtaking natural beauty.

City of Greater Geraldton mayor Jerry Clune said this year’s weather conditions should lead to blooms a-plenty.

“Mullewa’s wildflowers are truly a sight to behold, and thanks to the plentiful rainfall this year, we’re expecting an exceptional display,” he said.

“If you make the effort to see them each season or have never enjoyed the magic of the Mid West’s wildflower season, this is the perfect year to make the journey.”

From Thursday, August 28 to Sunday, August 31, visitors to the small town can enjoy the Outback Bloom festival.

Among the many activities to choose from are a range of guided walking tours, flower displays in the town hall, painting workshops, bush tucker yarns and a photography workshop.

The Mullewa Agricultural Show takes place on Saturday August 30 at the Recreation Ground.

“Both events (are) highlights on the Mullewa calendar and provide a great opportunity to experience the town,” Mr Clune said.

“I also encourage visitors to check out Helen Ansell’s gallery and Suzie’s Aboriginal art studio to view local artwork inspired by the region, additionally be sure to call into the Mullewa Community Resource Centre for the latest information about what’s happening in the area.”
