This December, RADIANCE illuminates the Rockhampton Botanic Gardens for an immersive, Christmas-themed LUNA light journey. An event for the whole family, witness the Botanic Gardens awaken nightly with a spectacular Christmas-themed sound and light experience. This ticketed event uses holograms, lasers, interactive projections, light sculptures, immersive soundscapes and many other sensory devices to excite the senses and create a magical experience for every visitor. Entry times to Radiance are every 15 minutes and you can explore the illuminating wonderland at your own pace once you have entered.

This year's event follows the story of 'Dusty' (the dingo) told via holograms, interactive projections, lasers, sound, LEDs and special effects that will really capture the imagination. The trail begins at the Dingo Playground - you can view a map of the gardens here.
