| Kevin C. |
 Nothing says summer in Sydney like a street of jacaranda trees in full bloom. As if Sydney wasn’t already the prettiest city in Australia, we find ourselves living in nothing short of a magical, lavender coloured, wonderland. Let's start with the Royal Botanical Garden, cross the Harbour bridge, and explore the streets of suburbs like lavender bay and Wollstonecraft.
Jointly led by Kevin Cliffe and Esther. No need to contact leader but email RSVP is appreciated.
Location: Sydney Harbour Limit: 8.
