Top 5 spots to enjoy jacarandas

Published on 01 September 2025

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.

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 Guilfoyle Park 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.
