We went for a drive with the kids to check out some of the light setups around Brisbane tonight - I took some photos for steemit along the way.
The photo quality isn't the best sorry, it was just my phone and the lights were intensely bright :
I had no idea how full-on Christmas light displays had gotten in Brisbane..
Lots of streets around Beenleigh were completely locked down with huge mobs wandering and state emergency service volunteers coordinating traffic and people - insanity.
We missed out on a lot of the bigger displays because of the street closures and crowds , the kids aren't great in crowds and it just wasn't worth the stress for blinkenlights tbh .
My photos really don't convey what some people like Brad are up to - this is his video :
