#cherryblossom25 When spring arrives in Sydney, the city doesn’t just wake up—it **bursts into violet euphoria**!

The most famous place to see jacarandas in Kirribilli is McDougall St next to Milson Park, which is often crowded and has limited parking. However, many streets in Kirribilli offer beautiful jacaranda views, and a leisurely stroll can reveal stunning scenery. We parked near Sub Base Platypus, walked to McDougall St, then to Kirribilli Lookout, and finally looped back past the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron to Sub Base Platypus. Along the way, we saw plenty of jacarandas. Refer to route map for guidance. #SydneyJacarandas #SydneyKirribilli #Jacarandas #SydneyLife #SydneyWeekend #SydneyWeekendGetaway #SydneyCityWalk

While Milson Park near McDougall St is bustling with people, I found a hidden gem—a lesser-known jacaranda tree in a nearby alley. You can see the photo in another note. To visit, take a ferry from Circular Quay to North Sydney Wharf and navigate to Milson Park; you'll pass by this tree, which is still in full bloom. If you're planning to take photos at McDougall St, make sure to arrive early, around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds of tourists. #SydneyLife #Jacaranda #HiddenJacaranda #SydneyJacaranda #JacarandaPhotography #Outdoor #AutumnAdventure #Photography #TravelPhotography #SydneyTravelPhotography

Have you heard of jacaranda?! You can think of it as the cherry blossoms of Australia! It's a little different from cherry blossoms, but it's incredibly purple💜 Just like there's Seokchon Lake in Korea, there are a few spots famous for jacarandas, and this road in Kirribilli is one of them, and it's famous for the beautiful jacarandas in full bloom~~ It was a little disappointing that the flowers didn't bloom in full bloom because they fell quickly when it rained, so they were all gone before the rain, but Kirribilli is still so pretty! If you go around the end of October, be sure to see the jacarandas😊 #Sydney #NorthSydney #Kirribilli #Jacaranda #AustralianCherryBlossoms #Australia #FlowerViewing #PurpleFlowers #Beautiful #PhotoSpot
