Well you may not have seen them from
space; but the Christmas lights, at Wycheproof, certainly put the town on the
map this festive season. Broadway, Wycheproof was also the talk of the district
with the iconic peppercorn trees adopted and decorated by individuals and
groups.
Wycheproof VISION president Jacinta
Miller said she was delighted that so many residents had lit up their houses,
making the town glow and so many businesses had joined in adopting a peppercorn
tree to decorate, showing a great Christmas spirit.
