Paddington

A drive down to Government House in Paddington could be the best decision you’ve made this Christmas. The front yard features an array of light up Christmas trees and presents that gradually lead your eyes to the A-frame of Christmas lights, serving as the beacon for this year’s lighting success. Chatterbox Early Learning Centre at 24 Guthrie Street has also gotten right in to the Christmas spirit. All reports say that Chatterbox has created a magnificent display.

Tips & Tricks

4KQ’s Christmas lights and other competitions are great places to start, but the list can be limited. We suggest getting out and about and driving your local streets, after all, pearls are not found without searching for them. We live in one of the best communities in Brisbane. Each suburb has its own Facebook group and having a scroll through these community orientated groups is usually a great way to find some great light displays. Also, remember to check the weather forecast, if you’re heading out during or just before rain, you will most likely be disappointed. Apart from that, enjoy the Christmas break and the hunt to find the best light displays in our community.
