Nothing says warm weather in Sydney like a street full of jacaranda trees in bloom. As if Sydney wasn’t already the prettiest city in Australia, once the warmer months hit we find ourselves living in nothing short of a magical, lavender-coloured wonderland.
The season runs from mid-October, and peaks in mid-November as summer really starts to roll in.
There’s a little piece of magic by the name of McDougall Street. Come spring, tourists and locals alike flock to this fairytale avenue in Kirribilli, where the splendid arch of jacaranda trees creates a lavender-hued dome, perfect for spring selfies. Just remember to be road safety aware at all times and mindful of residents.
