Greetings to all visitors,

This is just an update to say that I have submitted my order for new lights this year. Most of them will be green LEDs, although I also will be adding a small amount of additional blue and white LEDs as well. Cost of new lights will be around $850 AU.

I expect expenditure for the year will be in the low to mid $1000's with the possible addition of a DMX controller and necessary extension cords.

I'd like to which all the people who have visited the light display this season one way or enough (either in person or through this website) a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy the festivities with your family on this day.

Two videos have now been uploaded of this year's Christmas display. They can be found in the videos section of the website.

A third will follow later in the month.

Also, over the last two days the display has not been running to its full potential due to bad weather. This will happen again tonight.

Tomorrow is forecast to have a clearing shower, so let us hope the display can run to its full potential tomorrow night.

Until recently, the display was not running correctly due to various problems such as power loads and miscellaneous computer issues. I was starting to become disappointed with this year's display.

However, the display has now been operating for two days without the gremlins from earlier in the month, so I believe the issues are sorted at last.

I hope to get video footage captured and uploaded within the next couple of days. Still pictures have been uploaded and more will likely follow.

Season Greetings to all.

The 1st of December is so close now.

Today the computerised lights in the garden and on the roof were finally able to be tested. The result was surprisingly successful. I was expecting there to be some problems taking some time to fix.

So now the base and pole of the mega tree have been put up ready to have lights strung from it tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, leaving the Sunday following as the final testing day.

The streaming webcam should be in operation during the count down and light up ceremony on December 1st allowing you to view the display if you can't make it in person (though I must say it is much better in person!). Music will begin playing at about 8:15 pm with the lights turning on right on 8:30 pm ACDT (UTC+10:30).
