Nothing says Christmas in Sydney more than the Martin Place Christmas Tree. I am the first to admit, the Christmas Tree in the past 3 years have been very ordinary displays. Yes, the tree in the past has been just as tall (seemingly close to 4 floors high) however the decorations and the effort that went into past efforts was sadly lacking.

EPIC Christmas Tree Martin Place

It is with much joy therefore to report that this years effort is absolutely "Epic," It is just as tall as previous efforts which is marvelous in itself. However the tree has much much more lights and decorations. In fact someone decided it was a good idea to not only light up the tree but to also place a gigantic wrap around LCD monitor around it.... just like a gigantic ribbon.

Text Your Message to the Tree

The LED display is not just there to add pretty colours though. With a simple text message you can send a short message which will then be displayed at the base of the tree on the LCD screen and you can watch it spiral to the top.

Construction Process of the Giant Tree

I was lucky enough to have seen the tree get constructed in each stage as I passed it everyday to work. The tree I have heard is a brand new one from last year althought it is just as big. It gets delivered in Cargo containers in pieces and from there it gets assembled using cranes and forklifts.

Christmas Tree By Day and by Night

During the day time the Tree looks quite okay. However at night time that is where it becomes absolutely spectacular.
