      And the festival gets more and more popular. There are so many great displays that I can't even photograph now because they get swamped with people.

    Wow! Gotta love this festival. The displays are so varied. Do they present something different every night or is the performance the same?

      Ruth, it's an animated show that runs for something like twenty or thirty minutes and it is replayed throughout the festival. They have a new show every year.

    wow, so amazing. My son has been hinting he would like to go back to Sydney, so perhaps I should be adding Sydney to my travel list real soon. Happy travels, have a fabulous week and thank you for stopping by my blog last week.
