The Lights of Lobethal


Last night we were upto visit an event called "The lights of Lobethal", which was advertised rather heavily. It is a christmas event where the residents of Lobethal ( a village area in the Adelaide Hills) would decorate their houses and gardens with lights.

After about a 30km drive through the winding and scenic hills, we arrived in Lobethal rather ahead of time for the christmas pageant. Lobethal is a somewhat country area with an agricultural life-style.

The pageant and the lights came in as a bit of a dissapointment. The pageant consisted of a few old cars and a couple of bag-pipe bands, and abruptly came to an end with the not-so grand arrival of Santa Clause.

Next we took our car across the light trail, which was not too bad, however the heavy and stagnant traffic through the roads took away the pleasure of the light displays.

All in all the experience of the country side further away from the city was a pleasent one; relaxing and beautiful.
