Xmas Lights Aussie Style

In Hervey Bay gardens
Christmas is over but the lights will stay till New Year...
(After all, why spend all that time and money setting them up ...)


Santa's sleigh powered by reindeer??? No - 'roos!!!!


 High-set "Queenslander" house floating in the darkness



This garden full of tiny vignettes everywhere you look
