Sydney might be best known for its golden beaches and lively harbour, but as summer fades, the city takes on a whole new charm.
Autumn in Sydney is a breathtaking season, with tree-lined streets, gardens, and parks transforming into a kaleidoscope of warm hues. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful spot to relax or a scenic trail to explore, there are plenty of destinations where you can soak up the beauty of autumn.
The best part? Many of these locations are wheelchair-friendly, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the magic of the season.
If you’re searching for the best places to see autumn colours in Sydney with accessibility in mind, look no further. Here are 3 top spots where you can experience the stunning seasonal changes without barriers.
The Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney
For those who prefer to stay within the city, the Royal Botanic Garden offers a wonderful setting to experience the beauty of the changing seasons. With a diverse collection of deciduous trees, wide accessible pathways, and convenient entry points, it’s an ideal spot for a leisurely afternoon stroll while admiring the vibrant autumn colors. The garden features smooth, wheelchair-friendly paths, accessible restrooms, and cafés with outdoor seating. With the Vivid festival happening between 23 May and 14 June you can catch a fabulous show of light and colour in the gardens.
The Blue Mountains
Just a short drive from Sydney, the Blue Mountains offer stunning autumn foliage. You not only have spectacular valleys and gorges, but Everglades Historic House & Gardens in Leura is a hidden gem that bursts into colour during autumn. The gardens have accessible paths, though some areas may require assistance. The wildlife park at the foot of the mountains is a great place to stop enroute to meet native Australian animals before you immerse yourself into this UNESCO heritage area.
Mayfield Gardens Oberon
Mayfield is Australia’s largest privately-owned cool-climate garden, inspired by Europe’s great horticultural destinations. Just 3 hours from Sydney, it features a maze, chapel, stumpery, aviary, and 65 acres of stunning landscapes, open year-round.
Committed to accessibility, Mayfield offers mobility-friendly paths, handrails, and the Camellia Walk, designed for wheelchairs, prams, and those avoiding stairs. Plus, it’s dog-friendly!
