Curra Christmas is set to light up the countryside north of Gympie from December 1st.
For the past four years Tammy and Damien Kerle have been switching it on at their property at Curra Meadows, drawing thousands of visitors to see the wonders of their creations (8000 in 2007 alone).
Take a determined family, over 120,000 bulbs and LED’s and you get one of the largest walk-through Animated Christmas Lights Displays in Australia spread over a whopping 2 acres! This years display promises to be bigger and better than ever and with the switch to LED lights making the most carbon neutral and environmentally friendly display in Australia. Tammy says
“Our animated sequences are all programmed by us using LOR computer software – from the wave of Santa’s hand to the fluttering of the angel’s wings and everything in between! “
Visitors are advised to watch out for new attractions like the giant palm tree, leaping arches and the roof top elves who explain the display every 10 minutes.
Curra Christmas lights is a Fantastic Display
Apart from creating this visual feast for the community, Curra Christmas Lights help raise money for Little Haven Palliative Care, raising $2500 last year and hoping to do better this year.
“The money raised helps Little Haven in it’s provision of FREE 24 hour on call specialised nursing care, carer support, equipment and respite volunteers for the terminally ill in this community”.
“We are really grateful for the support we get from Curra Christmas and Polleys Coaches who run trips out to the display, proof that this community is interested in caring for it’s own.”
