A FANTASTIC visual display of local flora has taken place at the 89th Busselton Wildflower Exhibition.
On September 18 and 19 locals can experience the beauty of bush land Australia for themselves at the Kent Street Uniting Church.
A fully operational overshot wooden water wheel is the spectacular centre piece of the exhibition and will be sold by silent auction.
Exhibition volunteer Ross Stanbury and creator of the wheel said the piece highlighted elements of living in the South West.
“The water wheel will be the focal point of the display and will remind visitors of the importance of water conservation in our dry climate”, Mr Stanbury said.
The official launch was on Thursday, with guest speaker Tammie Reid and the Vasse Primary School Choir opening the event.
Offering tea, lunches, craft cakes and local produce organiser Barry Oates said there would be something for everyone with another outstanding display.
“There will be a wood turning demonstration, experts to answer questions and plenty of interesting things to buy,” he said.
Beanies, wildflower videos, photographic displays and the Geographe Community nursery will be some of many items on display over the two days.
Admission is $10 for adults, $6 for pensioners and children are free.
The Exhibition runs Thursday, 9am-6pm and Friday 9am-5pm.
