Description:Gibson is a small town in southeastern Western Australia, about 22 kilometres (14 mi) north of Esperance. It is served by a station on the Brookfield Rail network, and is also the site of the Esperance Airport. In 2009, a 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) long crossing called by this name but located slightly away from the town was built. Helms Arboretum is located just outside Gibson and is home to eucalyptus, melaleucas, casuarinas, acacias, and many exotic pines. During spring you’ll find spider orchids, cowslips, and leschenaultia, enamel and donkey orchids, plus banksia. Red flowering gums in summer, silver princess late winter, and the glorious royal hakea is on show all year round.
