“Hilariously, the house across the road has one little string of lights up and an illuminated arrow in their yard pointing across saying ‘Ditto’.”
I remember that one from a previous year, gave me a good chuckle. 🙂

That’s Archdall St in Dunlop, points to the house next door which has a replica of the Parliament House flagpole out front year round. They always do a decent display.

Slaven Place in Gordon off Knoke Ave is always great, almost the whole street takes part and they’ve had the lights going across the street in the past. Haven’t been down there this year to check it out but it’s always on my list.

Corner of Coyne St and Fihelly St, Fadden.
Able to be seen from space.

154 Tillyard Drive Flynn also has a synchronised to music display with around 30 minutes of music this year, the display has two giant RGB megatrees, a Santa sleigh that seats 3 adults not to mention surprise visits from Mrs Claus.

The Synchronised displays at 17 Botterill, Elia Ware Cres, Tillyard Drive are not the only ones synced to music, 7 wolff st Latham is another plus two more I know that I don’t have addresses handy for.

You left Elia Ware Cres, Bonner off your list. By far the best interactive light display I have seen in a long time.

10 minute show synced to music.

Oh wow! I hadn’t heard about this one. I will have to check it out, it sounds amazing. Thank you!

They have their own FB page. https://www.facebook.com/EliaWareLights

I went to check this out last night. SO AWESOME. The only annoying thing was the cars that kept driving past with their highbeams on.

The record which was previously held was most Christmas lights at a residential property. The world record for the lights in Civic this year is for the world’s largest LED light image display. The image is of 3 presents – there are bows on top of the two structures and the carousel.

One house I saw a few weeks ago in Gordon had a giant inflatable Santa, easily 10 metres tall, plus a bazillion lights. The homeowner also informed us that as it gets closer to Christmas, they’ll have a projector up on the wall playing Christmas movies, as well as a stack of beanbags to perch on. Definitely one the kids would love. (I failed to get the address of this one, all I remember is that it was the house on the corner, on the top of a hill – can anyone fill in the blanks?)

I think the above house is in Robert Lewis Court, off Harry Hopman Circuit.

Not much publicity this year for Xmas lights. I remember in previous years radio stations posted maps on Facebook and Twitter but this year there has been nothing. And don’t be fooled. The display in Civic is not the world record holder anymore. Over the past week Sunrise has interviewed two US families via satellite who each overtook our local display.

Mix 106.3 have a map up this year.
