The 13-million-year-old volcanic plateau known as Table Cape shelters Wynyard from the strait, while providing one of the world's ideal tulip-growing environments.
In fact, bulbs grown here are even exported to the Netherlands.
The community's three-week Spring fling includes markets, dinners, film screenings and Table Cape Tulip Farm tours, culminating in the day-long Bloomin' Tulips Festival on 11 October.
Beginning with a Colour Run - in which white-clad racers are spattered with rainbows of colour every 500 metres, the festival features live music, carousel rides, a tulip-throwing competition, flower-shaped stilt walkers and a spectacular fireworks display over the Inglis River.
