Jacaranda Walk – North and South Harbour Purple Spender Ending in Gelato!

About this event

They say purple is the colour of royalty… or the sexually frustrated… or both (in case you were wondering, I see myself as Meetup royalty, lol!). It’s a real experience to walk through Sydney at this time of year with blooming Jacarandas (sometimes referred to as purple banksias, as I recently learned from our botany expert Andy). We will start at North Sydney Train Station (meet outside the station up the stairs at road level) at 10am sharp. From here we will venture towards Lavender Bay for our first purple experience and photo opportunity. Then we will visit Wendy’s Secret Garden and walk along the waterfront near Luna Park, admiring the harbour as we go, on our way to Kirribilli for more purple experiences and photo opportunities (one street here is like a “Jacaranda tunnel for royalty or the sexually frustrated or both”). We will then cross the Harbour Bridge, see the first public toilet in Australia at The Rocks (now, that’s not purple but still exiting!), make our way to Circular Quay for even more purple experiences and photo opportunities. We will have lunch at Circular Quay (plenty of options). After lunch, will walk around the Opera House, through the Royal Botanical Gardens to Lady Macquarie’s Chair for lovely views of the city. Then we will walk past Woolloomooloo Wharf on to Potts Point, where there is a Rivareno Gelateria. We will stop there and recharge ourselves with delicious calories (why not?). There may even be a purple option… Expect moderate hills and some stairs. We will aim to finish at Kings Cross Train Station by 3pm. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* DISTANCE: About 13 kms. GRADE: Easy.
