So that's the City at Christmas Lights Trail in a nutshell. Read on if you wish to see some more pictures, read a bit of a story and see my suggestions for walking the trail.
Traditionally, my family doesn't put up Christmas lights until the 1st of December, so it felt a little wrong to enjoy Christmas lights so early. But I thought it might be best to get in early to beat the crowds and to share with you my thoughts. Over the last week, I have made three incursions on to the trail (an advantage of living in the city). The first time I missed the "Tinsel Tunnel" and "Jingle All The Way" and wasn't happy with some of my photographs and videos. On the second attempt I found everything, but "Around the World" wasn't working, so I had to go back the next night to get a picture.
Public transport wise, the most obvious starting points are either Perth/Perth Underground Train Stations or the numerous bus stops around the city. The train stations are located in the middle of the route, so if you do come by train, you will need to visit some exhibits more than once (which isn't a bad thing).
I will start at Council House located at 27 St Georges Terrace, the southern extremity of the trail. Located on the lawns of Council House (which itself is lit up as per any other day and makes an amazing backdrop) is "Hoppy Christmas", a mob of fairy light adorned kangaroos.
