Jacaranda Trees, Brisbane

University students know it's exam time here in Brisbane because the end of the academic year is in November and that's when the jacaranda trees are in full bloom, making the city pop in an explosion of purple, lilac and lavender. The most impressive examples of these amazing trees can be found in New Farm Park or at the University of Queensland, St Lucia campus. Many locals flock to see them during the months of October and November with their cameras at the ready. It's best to get in early before the storm season arrives and the flowers start to dwindle away.
