The butterflies and displays of dried wildflowers in
the ceiling were designed by Denis and Sheenagh Collins, and were an
idea inspired by a lack of available funds to purchase lining for the
building, combined with a desire to create a more interesting view for
those enjoying their lunch. These spectacular works of art each took
many hours to complete. This exhibit
of Western Australian wildflowers extends the full length of the
ceiling, and includes a range of wildflowers native to the Wave Rock
region. The Centre has a wide range of Australiana souvenirs for sale, including emu, tea tree and lanolin oils, iron ore jewellery, wool products, clothing and film. Country Kitchen
The Country Kitchen caters for coach groups, individual
bookings and private functions (special rates are available). Special
dietary requirements can be catered for on request. Our airconditioned lunch area can accommodate up to 200 people, and the decking al fresco area overlooks a natural billabong, where swans and other birdlife can be observed while you are enjoying your meal. Walk through the Visitor Centre to this beautiful
haven for birds and animals. All exhibits are kept in their natural bush Housed in beautiful hand-crafted jarrah cabinets,
this large collection of antique lace dates back to the 1600s. Laces on The Lace Place also houses a Gramophone Collection - a prized collection of antique music machines from bygone eras; a Wedding Dress Collection - dating from the early 1900s to the present day; and includes a fashion award winning exhibit by a local designer. |

Situated
just a short walk from Wave Rock, the Wildflower Shoppe incorporates
the Wave Rock Visitor Centre, Cafe and Country Kitchen, Wildlife Park,
Wildflower and Souvenir Shoppe, Lace Place, and Tours and Airport
Booking Office.
The fittings and fixtures of the
Wildflower Shoppe are built
from natural bush timbers. On display in the Centre are vintage cars, a
dray, and old stoves used by our early pioneers. Together with a granite
fireplace with a huge kettle flue, they create a warm inviting
atmosphere.
Where
possible, local produce is used in the preparation of the food available
from our Country Kitchen. These include Wave Rock beef, locally made
bread and cakes, and most other foods prepared on the premises for your
enjoyment. Devonshire Teas (Granny’s recipe) and brewed coffee are a
feature of the restaurant.
