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!

What to do in our local area during this glorious time of year.

National Tree Day is coming up on 31 July, so we asked our legendary bushcare coordinator, Rudi Adlmayer, for his top five tips for planting and looking after a healthy tree. Rudi would know: he’s planted thousands.

To celebrate National Tree Day, we asked some of our tree staff about their favourite plants in the local area. Their selections range from trees that are hundreds of years old to recently planted saplings, and they span the whole local area. Why not go and visit one while you’re out for a walk?

Spring is in the air. The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and the flowers are blossoming. It's the perfect season to get out there and explore the gorgeous wonders of Woollahra and its surrounds. Why not take a walk around your local area and discover breathtaking scenery and other local secrets.
