Nature has a nightlife, and it’s glowing
As night falls along the Murray River, thousands of lights begin to glow. Gentle illumination draws out the landscape, light shifting through the trees, quietly transforming a river island after dark.
This is Trail of Lights, an immersive walking experience in Mildura, created by Bruce Munro, the artist behind Field of Light at Uluru and his latest installation – Fibre Optic Symphonic Orchestra (FOSO) in Wentworth NSW. Walk through 12,500 firefly lights and Munro’s iconic Gone Fishing sculptures.
There’s no schedule, no rush, just a space for reflection, connection and wonder.
