On Christmas Eve 1937, radio broadcaster Norman Banks was deeply moved by the sight of a woman singing carols at her window with the glow of a candle illuminating her face. The following year, he organised a gathering of 10,000 people to sing carols by candlelight in Melbourne’s Alexandra Park. Nearly seven decades later, the warmth and goodwill of this magical night has spread from Victoria throughout Australia, lighting up many lives with the joy of Christmas. For the 20,000 who crowd The Sidney Myer Music Bowl each year, it’s a chance to enjoy great music and fun. Millions tune in to the Nine Network’s telecast. But even more heart-warming than the excitement of the night, is the fact it helps a meaningful cause, benefiting children who are blind or vision impaired by supporting the valuable work of Vision Australia.
