The Lights of Lobethal
Back to South Australia to spend Christmas with Anthony and Dan.
South Australia was heavily settled by German immigrants in the late 1800s due to religious oppression in Germany. Many towns in the Adelaide Hills south of Adelaide have German names. Take the main road (A1) south from Adelaide 15 km and turn off, heading north east, and you come to a little town called Lobethal.
Every December they have Christmas markets (just like many German towns) and all the locals vie to put on the best Christmas light show. Tonight is the night of the Christmas pageant, so we decided to go see. Again all the locals put tinsel on their cars, bikes, whatever and parade down the street:
