From early December through to January the Mandurah Canal residents offer an amazing experience to the general public as they hang out millions of colourful lights illuminating Mandurah's luxury canal homes and reflecting onto the water, in the annual best Chrismas light competition.
There are waving Santas, snowmen, reindeers and sleds, dolphins, stars, snow globes, Christmas trees, opulent stairways, private jetties, watercraft and more - all sparkling with colour as carols are sung from balconies.
The best way to observe this phenomenon is from the water. Families and friends do so from their private boats or with Mandurah Cruises who operate Christmas Lights Cruises during this period.
