Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival

A mesmerizing spectacle unfolded within the Auburn Botanical Gardens during the annual Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival. The already stunning gardens had transformed into a feast for the senses! Stunning cherry blossom trails lined parts of the gardens offering the perfect photo opportunities while an abundance of Japanese food stalls filled the air with delectable flavours of all kinds. A group of us found a nice sunny (albeit a bit too sunny at times) table to sit and sample some of the tasty treats. This year, the festival celebrated Hello Kitty’s 50th birthday with special performances by Kitty and Hello Kitty-themed desserts, like a giant Hello Kitty head made from fairy floss that was so Kawai!
As the afternoon approached so did a nasty bunch of dark clouds which was our cue to head back to the east. It was such a beautiful and well-organised festival that we agreed to return next year.
