Where can I see sunflowers in Sydney?
Glenbernie Family Farms
The most well-known farm, many bloggers have checked in here. You can pick flowers, in addition to sunflowers, there are other flower fields. The entrance fee is $10, no reservation required.
Be sure to wear fully covered shoes. Sandals, flip-flops, and shoes with holes are not allowed inside! Especially if it has rained in the past few days, there will be a lot of mud in the sunflower field, so wear slip-resistant shoes that are not afraid of getting dirty!
Sunflowers are $4/stem, and remember to bring scissors! Scissors are not provided on-site, and the stems of sunflowers are really difficult to break.
There is also a garden on the other side with many varieties of flowers that are super delicate and pleasing to the eye, unlike the grandeur of peonies and azaleas, but rather a refreshing and elegant type.

Relatively unknown, this farm has sunflowers and animals. The sunflowers have been divided into sections since the end of last year, so the scale is small, and there are currently no areas open to the public. You can wait and see.

Liverpool Plains
If you want to go on a road trip, come here. The sides of the road are full of sunflowers, and there are many attractions nearby. You can even go camping!
Liverpool Plains is full of golden sunflowers, and the blooming time of sunflowers is greatly affected by the planting time and weather. They may bloom from December to March. Usually, the blooming period of sunflowers lasts for about three weeks. After the blooming period, they become wilted flowers.
Since the blooming period of sunflowers is not fixed every year and it is difficult to predict when they will bloom, and local farmers also rotate their crops, the time and location of viewing sunflowers are not completely the same every year. Visit Liverpool Plains has established a Sunflower Alert, and tourists can inquire about the specific location when they go. The inquiry center is open from 9:00am to 5:00pm on weekdays and only until 2:00pm on weekends.
