Wallaroo Lighthouse Lights Up For Christmas!
For many years the Wallaroo Community Development Association, (WCDA), has worked with the Copper Coast Council to ensure that the town of Wallaroo encompasses the Christmas and holiday atmosphere that makes our town welcoming and exciting for our residents and visitors. This atmosphere has been created by the placement of Christmas decorations at the foreshore and in our business area.
From Christmas 2024 onwards the Wallaroo Community Development Association will further enhance the towns Christmas atmosphere with the placement of Christmas lights atop the Owen Terrace Lighthouse.
There are many towns in Australia that have street Christmas decorations, and some also place Christmas lights in trees and private properties, but Wallaroo will become the only town that decorates a full size, land locked, lighthouse in its main street.
Thanks go out to the following businesses & organisations for their support:
Silvergate (SA) Pty Ltd, Newbery Chemists, Weeroona Hotel, Weeroona Hotel Patronโs Club, Prince Edward Hotel, Prince Edward Hotel Social Club, Cornucopia Hotel, The Lions Club of Wallaroo, Drakes Supermarket โ Wallaroo, Wallaroo Heritage and Nautical Museum, NRG Electrical and SBCR Group (Silver Back Crane & Rigging).
The Copper Coast Council has contributed to the project by helping to install the Christmas lights on the lighthouse.
