Swainsona formosa

I do hope myself to get up to the north of the state.

I've seen the beautiful, uh, Sturt Desert Peas in some pictures and things like that, so hopefully we can get up at some point to check out how the north of the state's doing 'cause it does sound like it's lovely.

But it's been great to have your company on the Country Hour today.

It is coming up to news time.

This last winter has provided rains like we've never seen before for over, well, certainly for at least 30 years out in the rural areas.

countryside of Australia from western New South Wales to the wildflower regions of western Australia the entire countryside is ablaze of colour yeah incredible new colours of Sturt's Desert Pea that we have never seen before ever

yeah

we all think they're red well there's pinks and whites and bicolours and tricolours incredible it's an absolute wildflower bonanza happening at the moment now Those already on tour, we've got a group in Western Australia and in South Australia, and they are seeing wildflowers, the likes and the quality and the profusion that we haven't seen for a long, long time.

A couple of thousand Ks.

Got to see a lot of the SA Outback and, you know, a few cool things like Wild Sturt's Desert Peas and a couple of Outback pubs, you know.

How good are they? Got to stop into these places and have a look.

We went to this place called Blindman and I kept up fucking the name for ages, but now I've got Blindman.
