What dashes and dances and spreads festive cheer? Christmas lights (and Rudolph, of course). The season of twinkling red and green lights is here again, with houses and streets getting their glow on for the most wonderful time of the year.
While we love venturing into town to see each of our capital city’s dazzling displays – like NSW’s tallest tree towering over Martin Place or the epic new Sono Lumo light and sound show at The Star Brisbane – nothing quite compares to the humble suburban house decked to the nines by the hard yakka of a family that just does it for the love of Chrissie (and sometimes to raise some coins for charity).
If you’re hoping to see something more than just a lonely string of fairy lights, then christmaslightsearch.com.au is here to save the day. The massive interactive site has mapped out all the best Christmas displays in Australia and there are bound to be some hidden gems within driving distance. All you have to do is type in your suburb or postcode, and you’ll be presented with a map of houses to add to your trail.
