It all started with just a bit of fun with a few lights but the night-time sparkle Mark and Pam Ottaway started grew over many decades, pulling in the crowds.
The Kaiwaka couple are behind the ''little town of lights'' display outside their own home on the main highway, which shines brightest when they turn the front lawn and house into a Christmas fantasia.
Every night in December for 35 years now, crowds of people have arrived after dark at the couple's property to admire the spectacle, which also helps raise much-needed funds for the Kaiwaka Fire Brigade.
About $3000 is raised each year for the volunteer service.
