It is decorated with more than 110,000 LED lights, a 3.4-metre colour-changing star and 330 specially created glossy baubles. The tree’s 800 branches are dressed with 15,000 flowers representing 9 different kinds of Australian flowers: banksia, waratah, bottlebrush, wattle, eucalyptus gum flower, kangaroo paw, flannel flower, pink wax flower and white wax flower.

This time last year we were signing off for the festive season as Aotearoa New Zealand was beginning to learn learn to live with Covid-19 in the community.
While we started the year with Omicron in full force, it didn’t prevent the landscape architecture profession here making huge strides and marking major milestones.
2022 has been a hugely significant one for the profession but has also been a year when the world opened up again and kiwis got back to some sense of normality.
As we hit the year end tourists are coming back, New Zealanders are travelling and many of us are looking forward to a traditional kiwi summer.
As the NZILA and LAA sign off for the year just a reminder that we are always keen to hear from you with story ideas, projects to profile and the issues which are affecting the landscape architecture profession. You can email us here in the new year with all your ideas.
Our offices will be shut from Thursday 22 December and we reopen on Monday 16 January.
But for now we wish you all a wonderful festive season and look forward to working with you all in 2022. Ngā mihi o te wā.
