The intertwined branches, the clusters of purple flowers, the petals blown by the wind weave into a natural carpet, come to Australia, give you the most dreamy Sydney flower road.🌸🌳🌺 This dreamy flower road is in Milson Park, North Sydney Kirribilli, from the end of October to November each year, the flower trees here will bloom spectacularly. When the breeze comes, the petals all over the ground and the large flower trees are natural backdrops, very suitable for taking pictures! The purple flower tree is Jacaranda, many people mistakenly call it blue Jacaranda, the flower language is "waiting for love in despair". This kind of flower also has the alias of exam flower, failing tree, because every November in Australia is just the exam season, the Jacaranda that blooms in this season, also has such a unique "nickname".💜🌸💕😉 Jacaranda Avenue is in a residential area, there are many cars parked on the side of the road and there are many cars during commuting hours, everyone must pay attention to safety while taking pictures, ‼️ and do not disturb the normal travel of local people~🚗💨 What other Australian attractions do you guys recommend? And who do you hope will always walk the flower road?🌸😊 Welcome to share your comments!💬 Wish everyone walks the flower road!🌺

Sydney's stunning coastline offers a prime vantage point for unforgettable whale-watching experiences. During the annual migration season, typically from May to November, these waters become a haven for majestic humpback whales as they journey along the coast. Several dedicated whale-watching tours operate from Sydney, providing an opportunity to witness these awe-inspiring creatures up close in their natural habitat. From vantage points such as Cape Solander, North Head, and Bondi Beach, visitors can catch breathtaking glimpses of the whales as they breach and play in the ocean. With their captivating displays of acrobatics and the picturesque Sydney skyline as a backdrop, whale watching along the Sydney coast promises a memorable and awe-inspiring adventure for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. #tripstars

My visit to the iconic Sydney Opera House was a dream come true. As I walked up to the beautiful white sails rising from the water, I was struck by the building's grace and grandeur. Wow, I cannot believe I was really here. Inside, I was awe-inspired by the concert hall's vaulted ceilings and mesmerizing acoustics. These are truly one of a kind. Though the tour was brief, marveling at the Opera House's history and design left me with a deeper appreciation for this architectural wonder. I left feeling inspired and grateful to have seen this magnificent structure in person. I will surely come back to this place in the near future. #trip#instatravel

Visiting the Blue Mountains in Sydney is an adventure that promises more than just stunning landscapes; it's a journey through fascinating natural wonders and exhilarating hikes. First, embark on the Grand Canyon Walk. This enchanting trek weaves through lush rainforests, immersing you in a world of ancient ferns and towering eucalyptus trees. The track is adorned with sandstone cliffs, and you'll traverse a suspension bridge that sways gently over cool mountain streams. As you walk, listen for the echoes of birdsong and the whispers of the wind through the foliage. Then, chase waterfalls! Leura Cascades and Wentworth Falls are simply breathtaking. The cascading waters at Leura provide a serene backdrop for picnics, while the iconic Wentworth Falls offers several vantage points, including the cliff-hanging Princes Rock lookout. Gaze upon the falls' splendor as they plunge into the Jamison Valley below. For an otherworldly experience, explore the Jenolan Caves, a labyrinth of limestone wonders. Marvel at the cathedral-like chambers, stalactites, and underground rivers. The Lucas Cave, with its eerie Broken Column formation, is a must-see. Finally, don't forget the Three Sisters, a trio of sandstone peaks shrouded in Aboriginal legend. Watch the sun paint the rocks in brilliant hues during sunrise or sunset for a truly magical experience. The Blue Mountains is a treasure trove of natural marvels, and these captivating facts ensure an unforgettable visit.#familytravel #couplestrip #deliciousfood #Blue mountain

We moved from the Meritons to the Hyatt towards the second half of our stay, and it was a lovely upgrade. Room was located on the lounge floor which everything was newly renovated, the view from the room was beautiful! We could see the blue sky at the start of the day then sunset. Service was tremendous and staff were welcoming. We would enjoy a quiet moment at the lounge with a drink of my liking. For me, it was ginger beer. The Aussies do a nice ginger beer in contrast to Hong Kong; which has other nice things. The bed was comfortable, electronic power points at convenient places and the toilet was lovely. The shower had great water pressure; which who does not love a nice hot shower during the winter or after the gym. The restaurant downstairs has a great vibe which is best for a stay-in. Otherwise, the lounge serves a beautiful light dinner which differs daily according to what’s fresh! Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price 💰💰💰💰 #timetotravel
