Wishing upon a star

A Kings Park man is teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to bring some Christmas cheer this year.

Minh-Tuan Nguyen is raising money for the foundation through his Christmas lights display, which is synced up to music and makes for a spectacular sight for locals.

Mr Nguyen said it was a highlight for the area every year.

“There’s lots of people that come every night, and I have a donation tin for the Make-A-Wish Foundation out the front,” he said.

“It’s good to raise some money for them, I’ve done it for the last four years or so.

“The whole display is synced up to music that people can stream through their radio and watch from their car. People really like
it, especially the Christmas songs like

Jingle Bells.

Mr Nguyen has also registered with The new Christmas Lights Finder website (www.originxmas.com.au), that will allow people to locate decorated homes near them, upload the location and images of their own lights display, share their favourite houses, and donate to the charity Make-A-Wish to support festive fundraising.

Mr Nguyen’s lights display can be seen at 108 Gillespie Road, Kings Park, with shows on each night from 9pm till 11pm (11.30pm on Thursday – Saturday). Tune to 99.9 FM on your car radio for the music.
