From 2009: The nightly procession of vehicles to inspect the Christmas decorations on display by homeowners in Theresa Close has become an annual event. The Bayview Heights street comes alive in the weeks before Christmas, with one resident even dressing up as Santa every night and welcoming visitors. There were also lights in other parts of Bayview Heights and also Woree, Mt Sheridan, White Rock and Bentley Park.

Theresa Close Lights

As a long term resident of the Southern Suburbs with a young family, I found time every year, in the week or so before Christmas to check lout the fantastic lights in Teresa Close.

A letter in today’s Cairns Post shows the tradition is set to continue. So consider taking you family and having a look (while showing courtesy to residents and others who are on the road to enjoy the spectacle).

‘DECEMBER has arrived and with it the annual tradition of dedicated householders putting up Christmas lights for the enjoyment of others.

Theresa Close at Woree is often nicknamed the Christmas St and some houses will be turning on their lights this weekend.
Many people have been working hard to complete their lighting.
Sadly, there are some viewers who are full of complaints, ones who travel around the suburbs late at night and wonder why the displays are off, another last weekend shouted out “Turn your b… lights on”.
The spirit of Christmas is alive in some but sadly lacking in others.
While viewing the lights this year think behind the twinkling displays and consider the hard work and often emotional turmoil in other’s lives as well as your own. Fran Clayton, Woree.’
