Sydney s best secret garden hideouts and stunning deciduous oak trees scattered across the city have been named just in time for autumn.
From the sights of breathtaking harbour views, rows of 200-year-old rose bushes, and picturesque parklands, these gardens captivate locals and visitors.
With international travel banned and state borders closed on a whim, they are bound to be more popular than ever this season.
