Australia’s summer is coming to an end, and if you’ve been yearning for a visual feast, don’t hesitate. Head out this weekend to see the golden sunflower fields!
On Australia’s east coast, the golden sea of sunflowers is a sight you must witness at least once in your lifetime. No matter which state you reside in, you have the opportunity to witness this beautiful spectacle.
What is the best time to visit Sunflower Farm?
Every year from January to March is the season when sunflowers bloom in Australia, with fields of densely packed yellow sunflowers stretching as far as the eye can see.
Thousands of sunflowers turn to face the direction of the rising sun, welcoming each ray of sunlight.
You will find most sunflower farms open during these months (Jan to Mar).
