The weather has been heating up lately, and it’s the season of blooming flowers. Last week, we checked out the daisies, and this week, we rushed to see the wisteria! Muston Park in Sydney is absolutely stunning right now. Every year around this time, the wisteria tunnel bursts into bloom, looking straight out of a dream. We went a couple of days ago, and while it’s not fully bloomed yet, it should be even more spectacular in a few days!
What month does wisteria bloom in Australia
From late September to mid-November, Sydney will be covered in purple flowers one after another. First comes the wisteria, then the jacarandas. The wisteria blooming period is very short, lasting only two weeks, marking the beginning of Sydney’s transition from cold to warm weather.
Where can I see wisteria in Sydney?
Chatswood Muston Park
The wisteria tunnel feels like a secret garden, with beautiful purple flowers hanging down all around you. The archway is quite long, but we noticed many people gathering near the entrance for photos. If you walk a bit further in or head to the wisteria waterfall next to the archway, you’ll also get beautiful shots.
For those driving, you can park right next to the archway for free, which is super convenient. The park is small, with a kids playground and restrooms.
We recommend applying some mosquito repellent because there are a lot of bugs, we got bitten several times after taking photos!
Try to visit when it’s sunny, otherwise, the archway can be quite dark.
There are many restaurants and a food court in the building across from the train station. If you take the escalator up, there’s a street with frequent market stalls and even more restaurants nearby. You can check out restaurants you like before heading there.
Muston Park
Address – 375-389 Penshurst St, Chatswood NSW 2067, it’s about 2km from Chatswood train station. It’s a 30-minute walk, or you can take bus 115 or 120 and walk five more minutes to get there.
Norman Lindsay Gallery & Museum
Norman Lindsay was an artist and writer, and this gallery museum was his former home. This whole museum experience begins with a romantic wisteria walkway! Lush wisteria climbs the white columns in the garden, with many flower branches dripping down, filling the pathway with purple life.
Vaucluse House
The wisteria blooms quietly on the balcony, covering the front of the house!
Wisteria Garden, Westmead
In addition to wisteria, you can also find cherry blossoms, peach trees, almond trees, palm trees, and English elms!
Centennial Park Homestead Wisteria Room
The walls of Centennial Homestead are made of transparent glass, adorned with natural curtains, thick wisteria branches hanging outside the windows.
Marrickville Library
The “Wisteria Wall” at the library entrance is a great photo spot. Climbing light purple vines form a natural barrier on the columns. Besides the wisteria at the entrance, you’ll also find jacarandas about to bloom nearby, creating waves of purple.
