A group of Surat residents and landholders are again seeking to spread some Christmas cheer with their annual Tinsel Trail.
The group, known as the Surat Tinsel Trail Christmas Fairies, are asking people to decorate their mailbox, grid, front gate or property entrance in time for Christmas.
The idea is to create one big long ‘tinsel trail’ right across outback Queensland.
This year the Surat Tinsel Trail will once again host the Giving Tree and are asking people to donate to Aussie Helpers.
“We would love it if other communities could do the same,” co-organiser Liz McLean said.
“Many people have asked if the Tinsel Trail is in aid of a charity, The message is to simply spread Christmas cheer but we thought a Giving Tree to Aussie Helpers would be appropriate as well.
“This year we also have a display of local children’s art portraying their interpretation of Christmas.”
Mrs McLean said decorations could be as simple or elaborate as residents wished.
