Spy with your little eye a Christmas tree – there's more than one. Here are some hints: go over Sydney Town Hall, Customs House Square and St Mary’s Cathedral forecourt.

Look up and follow the stars on top of the light poles along George Street. Discover the lighting displays on the Woolworths Building opposite Sydney Town Hall.
