Tulip festival is held every year in historic town of Bowral. Its about less than 2 hours drive from Sydney.
Now in its 57th year, this award-winning festival is one of Australia's biggest floral festivals, attracting tens of thousands of visitors. Bowral is a beautiful historic town and there is a lot of character to its buildings and plants.
Below is a link to official page of the festival. There is a small fee for entry to the garden.

There are about 75000 tulip bulbs of various colors displayed in assorted tulip beds. I decided to visit the festival this weekend. Saturday 23/09/2017 was a warm sunny day marking the start of Summer in NSW. I arrived at the festival just before noon. The garden was already full of people from all communities. This weekend there were over 20 local land regional stallholders from homemade jams, homewares, clothing, jewellery, soaps to candles. Light refreshments including coffee, tea and scones, sandwiches, pies and other fresh and prepared foods were also available in Corbett Gardens.

Tulip festival is held in Corbett Gardens in the middle of the town. below are the pictures I took to share with steemit community. I have used Sony A7ii with Minolta macro lense. I ended up not having many macro shots due to it being very windy day. On overall the combination did not disappoint me.
