Other notable areas include Hunters Hill, which offers guided tours of its purple-lined streets, and the inner west around Sydney University, where a cloned jacaranda tree continues a campus legacy. Further west, Parramatta features blooms in Prince Alfred Square and Parramatta Park. In the southwest, Camden hosts a three-day Jacaranda Festival to celebrate the iconic trees along Argyle Street.
