Take a slow drive or walk around the historic Gorge Scenic Drive. Walking tracks meander through the area and the bush is transformed with spring colour. If you’ve got a bit more time on your hands, head to the nearby summit of Mt Pilot, 15 minutes drive away, for sweeping views and more flowers. </p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: September to early October</em></p> <p><em> </em> </p> <p><strong><img alt="Friends camping at Lerderderg Campground at Lerderderg State Park" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/family-activities/camping-lerderderg-campground-lerderderg-state-park-350x206.png?h=206&w=350&rev=724f623f1c92449ba09eee276616c26c&hash=884979E0A9EA367D04D1C8E6C4AD6CA9" style="height: 206px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Lerderderg campground area, Lerderderg State Park</strong> </p> <p>Just over an hour north west of the Melbourne CBD is this remote park, which turns on a surprising display of colour. Check out wattles, peas, heath and orchids. Enjoy a sea of orange and white flowers off Upper Chadwick near the new Lerderderg campground. </p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: late September to October</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em> </em> </p> <p><strong><img alt="Wildflowers at Wildflower Drive, Greater Bendigo National Park" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/wildflowers/wildflower-wildflower-drive-greater-bendigo-national-park-1920x1124.jpg?h=205&&w=350&rev=ea2b701294d14738af4b79435136bd2b&hash=ABBE7154AF2A20A74A1089D6BD807769" style="height: 205px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Wildflower Drive, Greater Bendigo National Park</strong></p> <p>The regional city of Bendigo is surrounded by forest that comes alive with wattle and other flowers from August onwards. In particular, check out Wildflower Drive just south east of Bendigo which is transformed with bright yellow wattle beneath the box and ironbark trees. Or in the middle of Bendigo, visit Salomon Gully Nature Conservation Area.</p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: mid-September to October</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><strong><img alt="Close up image of white flowers with a blurred background" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/wildflowers/wildflowers-350x206.png?h=206&w=350&rev=2ebd6704590e4ecfa196a652e55f2558&hash=145DEAF6320A6F2DB72102499CB55F34" style="height: 206px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Anglesea Heath, Great Otway National Park</strong></p> <p>Under two hours from the Melbourne CBD and home to about one-quarter of Victoria’s plant species, if you love orchids this is the place to visit. You’ll find flowers right throughout the Heath, but in particular try Bambra-Aireys Inlet Road and Bald Hills Road</p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: mid to late Spring onwards</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><strong><img alt="Wildflowers at Terrick Terrick National Park" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/wildflowers/wildflowers-terrick-terrick-national-park-1920x1124.jpg?h=205&&w=350&rev=5833389474e44e348fff8b1f23d6b41b&hash=F6A5B35B58E268ACDFCED23024B622B9" style="height: 205px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Fabians Block, Terrick Terrick National Park</strong></p> <p>In northern Victoria, 45 minutes west of Echuca, are colourful grasslands of daisies, peas and lilies.

Entry to the grasslands is by foot only as gates are locked.</p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: September</em></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>For those who want to stay close to Melbourne there’s plenty of places to enjoy beautiful floral displays...</p> <br /> <p><strong><img alt="Flowers over lake at Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/wildflowers/wildflowers-dandenong-ranges-botanic-garden-1920x1124.jpg?h=205&&w=350&rev=1a9c6867ef9742d4a6d0bf20be6a8930&hash=13D87F4691CE7DCD28A0E1C3E0C706D9" style="height: 205px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden, Olinda, Dandenong Ranges</strong></p> <p>Just a stone’s throw from the eastern suburbs of Melbourne lies an extensive display of spectacular flowers. Entry is free and you can walk around the gardens or catch a ride on the garden explorer before enjoying lunch at the cafe. Or to avoid the crowds, why not visit nearby George Tindale Memorial Garden, Pirianda Garden or Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden.</p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: throughout spring. See the daffodils, hellebores and camellias in September, and rhododendrons and azaleas later in spring.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><strong><img alt="Flowers and mansion at Werribee Park" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/wildflowers/wildflowers-werribee-park-1920x1124.jpg?h=205&&w=350&rev=c8d5b68b10e549fcac2cfdc72fa1cfff&hash=C3906E624118E960718A7BF5D2CFCCBD" style="height: 205px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Werribee Park, Werribee</strong></p> <p>For large scale formal floral displays you can’t go past the Victorian State Rose Garden and the grounds around Werribee Mansion. The parterre plantings near the Mansion will delight, and you’ll find every rose imaginable in the rose gardens.</p> <p><em>Best time for flowers: roses from September to March, with the peak in November. Flowers around the Mansion from mid-September onwards.</em></p> <p>If you don’t make it during spring, never fear, many areas are still flowering in summer, especially in the alpine region.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><img alt="Hiker overlooking wildflowers at Falls Creek, Alpine National Park" src="/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/images/things-to-do/wildflowers/wildflowers-falls-creek-alpine-national-park-1920x1124.jpg?h=205&&w=350&rev=6f748c62e74645f698e42dd5547d43f1&hash=139747CC10E078EFF051A628250A96B9" style="height: 205px; width: 350px; float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" />Falls Creek area, Alpine National Park</strong></p> <p>Take a walk along any of the tracks on the Bogong High Plains, in particular to Fitzgeralds Hut or Wallaces Hut, to enjoy colourful panoramas that would make photographer Ken Duncan envious.
