Purple Jacks

Apart from Hungry Jack, we saw a lot of purple "jacks" in Perth. Beautiful trees covered with purple flowers decorated the streets of Perth and were a sight for sore eyes. As we drove along, I kept looking out for these trees gracing the bleak Perth landscape.

Nobody knew what they were called, so I googled them when I reached home and found them in Wikipedia. Apparently, their biological name is "Jacaranda". And what keywords did I use to find them? "Purple Trees, Australia". As easy as that, and took me the whole of 10s to find.
