A frustrated couple have seen their extravagant annual Christmas lights display banned by their local council.
Graham and Judy Lumley happily admit they are 'Christmas crazy', with their festive wonderland surging in popularity each December on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
But what started as a passion project a few years ago with the community in mind has descended into a farce, with the Sunshine Coast Council forcing the couple to literally pull the plug on their plans for 2020.
The Lumley's were given a blunt ultimatum, invest in major upgrades to their rural property at a personal expense of $150,000, or see their lights display cancelled.
