Chauvel Street, North Ryde, NSW 2113

Several weeks before Christmas sees Chauvel Street become a wonderland of bright lights, nativity scenes and decorations. The sheer volume of foot traffic walking up and down the street, the cries of delight from the children, make driving at this time a moot point. By day, and for the rest of the year, the homes are very ordinary, though well maintained with well kept gardens. I suspect the owners are all indoors plotting how they can out-do their neighbours next Christmas.
