Geraldton streets lit up for Christmas

Driving around to look at Christmas lights is one of those quintessential activities of the festive season, but it can be a long night if you don’t know where to look.

The Geraldton Guardian took at trip around town to find some of the best for your Christmas Eve adventure. There are plenty of hotspots around town, but this selection is sure to get plenty of oohs and aahs out of kids big and small.

The overarching theme is that if there is one good house, the rest of the street will generally dress up too. That was certainly the case for Maidstone Street in Mt Tarcoola, which has a tradition of great lights so one longstanding resident suggested they re-name it “Christmas Street”.

It was true too of a trio of Bluff Point streets. Champion Bay Rise and the two cul-de-sacs that sprout from it are awash with lights. Even the most modest houses in this area would be stand-outs on other streets.

If you can find a spot to pull up, it’s well worth exploring on foot if your kids are up to it — a good way to get them ready for bed before Santa arrives too.
