Our local area is beautiful at this time of year as jacarandas paint the streets purple. An iconic part of our landscape, these beauties bloom for only a few weeks each year – so get your cameras out before they are gone again!

Here we share our local area’s top 5 jacarandas in the Woollahra Council area.

1. Oxford Street, corner of Glenmore Road

The northern edge of Victoria Barracks is adorned by a row of stunning jacarandas.

2. Five Ways, Paddington

Grab a table at one of Five Way’s famous cafes and soak in the purple splendour from all angles.

3. Guilfoyle Park, Double Bay

Visit on a Thursday for the Double Bay Organic Markets and enjoy lunch with a side of purple.

4. Near St Mark’s Church and Preschool, Darling Point

The perfect spot to sit and read a book.

5. Murray Rose Pool, Double Bay

The water is warming up, so grab your beach towel and friends and pop down to Murray Rose Pool while it’s looking its best.
