00:00A purple haze has settled over Sydney's streets.
00:05It just feels like spring and everyone is excited.
00:09The beloved jacaranda is back in bloom, this time a little earlier than usual thanks to lots of rain and warm weather.
00:18We come here every year, we love to watch the blooms, it's beautiful.
00:21While they're often mistaken for natives, the plant actually originates from South America.
00:27Still, it's become a symbol for Australian spring.
00:30My friend, she's local and she could recommend me to visit here because there's no like this kind of flowers in my country.
00:38For most, it's about turning this into the picture perfect backdrop as proof they were here when Sydney turned purple.
00:45I'm from Singapore actually and we saw it on Instagram so we just came down here to see the beautiful trees.
00:51Really beautiful. We don't have it in Singapore so yeah.
00:54It's the best photo spot.
00:57It's beautiful, sorry, on TikTok.
00:59From today, some streets in North Sydney will close on weekends to accommodate crowds, hoping to get that perfect shot.
01:07I used to live around here before, but before wasn't popular about 20 years ago.
01:13But funny, now a lot of people come here and take a photo.
01:17Spring's gift through fresh eyes.
