As night falls, follow the light trail to the Botanical Gardens and Primary School where a wondrous projection art and light experiences await you. Visit the Talking Tree and Fairy Garden. Paint your own artwork with light. Interact with shadow projections, unexpected animations and interactive projection installations. A visual and interactive trail of the art and performance of artists and Halls Gap community groups.
