Hey guys was wondering when the 2019 light list will be updated please
come to 2 rustyplum crt reedy creek for some good lights
What day does this finish? 🙂
9pm on the 24th December is the last gauranteed lighting up of the Christmas lights!
If I will go to Gold Coat on 1 or 2 December, can I already see all the houses decorated with Christmas Lights or it is too early? I have seen a lot of such beautifully decorated houses in the residential area of Gold Coast and Brisbane. Looks that it is much better than in Sydney.

Nope – not too early – most homes will have their lights on from 6pm or 7pm to around 9pm or 10pm. Enjoy!
Thank you very much, Janine.
