While Jacarandas are not native to Australia, this South American flowering tree has become immensely popular. Every year whole parks and streets around Brisbane turn purple as these trees shed their leaves to flower and the the ground beneath becomes a carpet of flowers. Brisbane has a number of great places for Jacarandas.



Jacaranda season

Nature tends not to follow a strict timetable and an exceptionally warm spring can lead to early blooms (some years up to four weeks earlier than expected) and different varieties of the tree will bloom at different times.

In Brisbane expect to see some early blooming Jacarandas at the end of September with the height of the season normally being the last two weeks of October, with the last blooms fading in early November.

University of Queensland, St Lucia

My absolutely favourite place to to view Jacarandas is the University of Queensland Lakes in St Lucia. This lovely park is worth visiting at any time of year, but becomes a magical place during Jacaranda season.



New Farm Park

You don't really need any excuse to visit New Farm Park, but it has one of the longest Jacaranda lined streets that I know of in Brisbane.



Cruising Brisbane River

While there are many different places around Brisbane where you can spot Jacarandas, the best way to do so is to simply jump on the CityCat and take a cruise down the river. You will see Jacarandas lining the river, in parks and in private residences.



Jacaranda Park

This small unassuming park in Yeronga comes alive every year during Jacaranda season.



Jacaranda Festival in Goodna

Every year in October the suburb of Goodna, in Ipswich hosts the Jacaranda Festiva l. This free festival includes food, crafts, rides, entertainment, a parade, fun run and of course lots of Jacarandas.



Ipswich

Ipswich has lined their avenues and commercial developments with Jacaranda trees.
