Last week we were dazzled by Lightscape at the Melbourne Botanic Gardens. The 2.2km illuminated trail around the gardens was filled with wonder and magic. Themes included Indigenous culture, flowers and lasers. We were welcomed (Wominjeka) at the start and farewelled (Twaganin Ganin) at the end in the Woi-Wurrung language of the local Wurundiji people.
We loved it this year more than last year. It was less busy. We ate a light meal beforehand so we could enjoy the food at the Terrace (approximate halfway point). The lights leading up to the Terrace were good but after it they were truly amazing. Many of the lights moved and changed colour so the images were really dynamic. By the end we felt it was better than last year. Here are some of my photos.
