Yalgoo
is a small town 220 km east of Geraldton approximately two thirds of
the way to Mt. Magnet. The area is famous for its spectacular fields
of wildflowers in July-September commonly known as everlastings. These
pictures were taken along the alternative route - from Morawa to Yalgoo.
It saves quite a distance for those who want to bypass Geraldton, though
road is unpaved and can deteriorate between gradings.

Another
interesting place in the area is the Jokers Tunnel (12 km south-east
of Yalgoo on the road to Paynes Find). It was carved through the rock
in late 19s century by early gold prospectors. For additional information
