Kings Park and Botanic Garden is located in the western part of Perth, Western Australia. Established in 1872, it is Australia’s first public park, covering an area of 1,003 acres. It is a park that combines grasslands, botanical gardens, and natural wetlands.

Kings Park and Botanic Garden overlooks the beautiful city of Perth. It is the largest inner-city park in the world and the most popular park in Western Australia, attracting around five million visitors each year.

Since 1965, the park has hosted the "Wildflower Festival" every September. During the festival, the park becomes a sea of flowers, with a riot of colors from various blooms. Visitors can admire a wide variety of flowers, including rare species such as everlastings, kangaroo paws, banksias, and eucalyptus flowers, offering a feast for the eyes and broadening the mind. The Wildflower Festival also features a series of gardening workshops, flower arranging demonstrations, free guided tours, and a range of exciting recreational activities.
