Free Christmas fun at Heard Park.
The Bauble is Back Baby!
I love the ever changing Heard Park installations so I was happy to see that the Christmas bauble is back this year.
We could all use some Christmas cheer, and it looks like the bauble is set to deliver with some nifty new features!
The lights have been switched up to keep it fresh and the best part is the interactive technology.
My 9 year old loves the rainbow rope lights and has been having a blast with the other kids, making the lights change colour by waving jumping and dancing around.
With the weather being so nice and endless local food spots, grab a bite and head to Heard Park with the family or friends and enjoy the free festive vibe!
Take some beautiful photos or grab a quick selfie. As always twilight is my fav time to get the best shot.
We just need that Hot chocolate food truck back!!
