Want to stroll through a shower of purple petals? You don’t have to head only to Provence in southern France. The romantic town of Grafton in New South Wales, Australia, is covered with “jacaranda” trees every spring, with their leaves and blossoms fluttering down like purple snowflakes, immersing you in a fantastical purple dreamscape — truly moving and romantic.

The jacaranda is also the city flower of Brisbane. Grafton is located about a three-hour drive south of the Gold Coast and roughly six hours from Brisbane. Not far from the coast, it is recommended that travelers or backpackers working abroad visit this romantic town in spring and then continue on to enjoy the crystal-clear, romantic seaside views.
