Berwick’s Wilson Botanic Park was glowing from within on Tuesday night, 18 April, as 400 locals toted handmade neon lanterns for a school holiday night walk extravaganza.
The night walk commenced at the Park’s amphitheatre around 6pm, proceeding to a loop around Basalt Lake and back.
Along the way, families were encouraged to bring along torches to spot various soft toy animals peppered around the park.
Immersive creative arts group The Indirect Object assisted with a neon lantern workshop, while Angie from Koo Wee Kapers provided storytelling, live music and puppetry and the Friends of Wilson Botanic Park had their tongs at the ready with a barbecue.
Star News photographer ROB CAREW had his flash camera on hand to capture the electric atmosphere.
