Christmas lights shine

Two stand-out features dominate this year’s Te Awamutu Christmas Light Trail — the excellent multiple displays in George Melrose Drive and the new display at 131 Great South Rd/SH3 in Ōhaupō (pictured).

From what I could see it was the only major display in the village — but it is worth the trip and worth stopping for a good look.

I have tried to include all displays, but not everyone responded to our call for addresses, so if you have lit up your house or property, and it doesn’t feature on this list, please email dean.taylor@nzme.co.nz and we’ll keep updating the list on our Facebook page.
