Sunrise is definitely the way to go. Fewer people, the light is amazing, and the whole vibe is way more chill. You'll get those killer pics for sure. Though, be warned, even then it's not completely empty. It's still pretty popular. But way better than the afternoon madness. Worth the early wake-up call, trust me.

Totally agree! Sunrise sounds idyllic. I'm a sucker for that golden hour light. Worth battling the alarm clock for those photos, you're right. Afternoon sounds chaotic...I'll definitely aim for the early bird approach. Thanks for the heads-up on the crowds, even at sunrise. Knowing it won't be totally deserted helps manage expectations.

Weekends are a nightmare, you're right. Aim for a weekday evening, maybe a Tuesday or Wednesday. Sunset times vary, so check a weather app closer to the date for the precise time – you want to be there at least an hour before, maybe even an hour and a half to get settled. Parking's a lottery, even then. For post-shoot grub, head towards the Dempsey Hill area. It's a bit of a hike, but offers a much wider variety of cafes than you'll find immediately near Rhu Cross. Plenty of places there will do a mean kaya toast and kopi-o. You could even treat yourself to something fancier after a successful shoot! Good luck with the photos!
