Move over Vivid - Christmas Lights in the city

#Sydney #Christmas .
Well now that Christmas has been done and dusted it is a good chance to look back at some of the cool Christmas lights that have been put up over the city of Sydney.  The warm nights and extended daylight mean that coming out after dark in Christmas time is pleasant and safe – as long as the thunderstorms don’t get you. Here are some highlights from my trips into the city:

Town Hall
The Town Hall was all lit up this year showing a variety of scenes that are shown upon it. It is hard to  photograph with busy George Street in front of it, but you can definitely get a feeling for how spectacular it is.






Martin Place
The usual tree was lit up in the western site of Martin Place with its big colour changing bulbs. Kids can line up and take turns in changing the colours from the switch  board. There was also a light display from the small building outside the MLC centre making its debut this Christmas.





St Mary’s Church
St Mary’s is the crowd drawer showing the 12 Days of Christmas and the Christmas story on the front of the church on the hour from eight. I bet the local residents would go insane – thankfully I can hear it once and then be on my merry way. This is becoming a Christmas tradition now been done for the last few years. We may not get the snow, but Australia can put on a good light show.








Merry Christmas everyone!
