Spring into Sydney – Discover the city in full bloom

Spring in Sydney and New South Wales bursts with colour, fresh flavours, and unforgettable outdoor experiences. From September to November, with mild temperatures between 11–23°C, it's the perfect season to explore.

• Sydney: Capture Instagram-worthy shots in late October as jacaranda blooms turn Kirribilli and Paddington into purple-hued wonderlands. Along the coast, Sculpture by the Sea (17 Oct – 3 Nov 2025) transforms the Bondi to Tamarama walk into a stunning outdoor gallery. It’s also prime whale-watching season—spot these majestic ocean giants from clifftops or get up close on scenic cruises.
• Central Coast: Savour freshly shucked oysters straight from local farms and hand-feed gentle alpacas in a scenic farm setting.
• Port Stephens: Known as the dolphin capital of Australia, spot playful dolphins on a cruise before hitting the sand dunes for thrilling quad biking and sandboarding, or enjoy scenic camel rides along Birubi Beach.
• Hunter Valley: Admire breathtaking views from a sunrise hot air balloon ride over vineyards and taste award-winning wines at cellar doors. Food lovers can indulge in gourmet dining at renowned local restaurants or unwind with a vineyard picnic in a scenic spot.  
• Blue Mountains: Marvel at incredible views of rugged escarpments and enjoy an overnight stay with guided stargazing tours that include telescope views of the Milky Way.
• Southern Highlands: Enjoy vibrant spring blooms at the Tulip Time Festival (12 Sep – 6 Oct 2025) and join a hands-on honey tasting and beekeeping tour experience.

Whether you're a foodie, an adventurer, or simply seeking stunning scenery, spring in New South Wales promises extraordinary moments at every turn.
