Shinju’s Carnival of Light

14th September, 2011 – Tonight at Town Beach, hundreds gathered to watch the Carnival of Light choreographed to the voices of school choirs, as part of the “Shinju Festival”.  The lanterns took on a magical appearance as they reflected on the mudflats of Roebuck Bay, more famously known for the reflection of the moon, producing Broome’s “Staircase to the Moon” which almost immediately after the last lantern was gone, came blazing up as a huge orange ball.
