The Hills and St Mary's Cathedral
If there was to be one choice for Carols to be added to anyone's bucket list, this would be it for me. The amazing St Mary's Cathedral is a beautiful place to behold, religious or not, the atmosphere and celebration of this wonderful time of year will be complete in these Gothic surroundings and spiritual home.
This is free event and open to all. I am sure the pews will fill fast, so don't arrive late.

The carols will commence at 7:00pm and I am excited to share that there will be an 80 member Rock 'n' Soul Choir leading in the singing, they are volunteering their time and they have previously been seen on Australia's Got Talent. Should be amazing to soak in while feeling the sand between your toes!

Oh and Mr newsreader himself, Mr Ron Wilson will be the MC for the night. What more could you want in a Carol?!
