Christmas Comes to Sydney
Wednesday November 21, 2007
Sydney is putting on its finery for the Christmas season. On Novembr 20, Sydney City Mayor Clover Moore launched the city's plans for celebrating Christmas and Santa was expected to arrive in a couple of days at Martin Place where the traditional six-storey-high Christmas tree would then be lit amid the sights, lights and sounds of a Christmas concert.
Adding to the festive spirit are 1500 banners decorated with Australian iconography — the Southern Cross, gumnuts and bottlebrush flowers — flying from city street poles. A sulphur-crested cockatoo, symbol of this year's Sydney Christmas, is projected at night onto the face of Sydney Town Hall. Photo: Sydney Town Hall all lit up for Christmas, courtesy City of Sydney
