  The Goods Line Tunnel

  Are you interested in adventurous activities? If yes, then you will certainly love this destination. This year, the unused Goods Line Tunnel will become a portal to a spectacular convergence of Vivid lights. Let your inner explorer come to life. Step into the tunnel featuring more than 100 custom-made lasers to illuminate this darker side of the city with infinite rays of light and colour. It is certain that the smoke effects and lasers will leave its visitors with awe, astonishment, and wonder. Check out this nearly forgotten landmark and click some of the best snaps of a highly immersive and intriguing Vivid experience. What about an Insta boomerang? The illuminated tunnel background will make it go viral on social media!

  Walsh Bay Pier 1 & 2

  Do you know how it feels like walking on water? If not, check out Walsh Bay Pier 1 & 2, the space of transience and fragility. Step onto a magical floating boardwalk surrounded by 150 huge illuminated spheres. It’s a great chance to witness how Walsh Bay has been transformed into a giant bubble bath. Each bubble is made of a transparent material. The colour-reflecting dichroic film after reacting according to the light of the sun will generate a unique reflection on the water, constantly changing! These iridescent balls will illuminate Walsh bay and perform the ultimate Vivid light dance. If you are an art enthusiast or a designer, you should definitely check out this Vivid viewpoint and photograph the enormity of the installation.

  Darling Quarter

  The Temple of Joy, an immersive addition to the Vivid Sydney Light walk is a multisensory extravaganza that aims to revive a new dance and music culture in Sydney. Get-togethers and night parties are not new to Sydneysiders, because Sydney was the epicentre of Australia’s rave party scenes. This immersive artwork is a homage to Sydney’s dance party scene and ultimately revitalises the joy and happiness of the iconic Sydney nightlife. Dance the night away in front of the colour changing walls and post your epic dance moves on social media. 

  Apart from these, you can discover many other IG-worthy destinations to enjoy the best views of the intricate light art projections on the city’s popular as well as lesser appreciated locations. Explore more and enjoy it better!
