The Lower North Shore is turning purple 💜 — join us for a special Jacaranda walk exploring both the famous and secret bloom spots across Sydney’s north shore!

This 10–12 km scenic loop takes us through leafy streets, harbourside parks, and secret gardens bursting with colour. Expect moderate hills, some stairs, and a steady pace of around 4 km/h with photo stops along the way. Good fitness is recommended, wear bright colours if you can, and don’t forget to charge your phone or camera for plenty of Jacaranda photos! 🌸 There are multiple exit points if needed.

Before you RSVP, be sure to read the following:

  • Difficulty: Easy to Moderate. Urban streets, parks and a few inclines.
  • Start at 9:30 AM (arrive by 9:20 AM) outside Milsons Point Railway Station (Kirribilli side) - Ennis Road. Finish at North Sydney, near the metro/station.
  • Route: We’ll begin at Milsons Point, heading through Wendy’s Secret Garden and Lavender Bay to explore a hidden location, before wandering through Kirribilli Village, lined with blooming Jacarandas.
    Our next stop will be the iconic McDougall Street and Milson Park — Sydney’s most photographed Jacaranda spot. From there, we’ll follow quiet trails to Forsyth Park, another hidden gem full of purple blooms, before wrapping up near North Sydney — just in time for lunch or drinks at the Firehouse Hotel, or you can take the Metro or train back home.
