Santa’s chimney needed a bit of TLC, but we’re very proud to say he’s now sporting a brand‑new one — and judging by the way he’s perched up there, he’s already given it the thumbs up… or should I say boots up.

Hohoho

Only 100 sleeps until the frame work goes up and the fun begins!

That magical moment when you realise its just 20 Fridays left until we hang that very first decoration.

Hi everyone! We’re on the lookout for any photos or videos showing people watching the Yamba Iluka Christmas Boat. The key thing we need is people visibly looking at the boat — that “human participation” moment.

Why? We’ve been told we’re in the running for an award (exciting!), and they’ve asked us to supply imagery of the community enjoying the boat. Because we’re usually busy behind the scenes making the magic happen, we haven’t been able to capture these moments ourselves.

If you have anything we could use, we’d be so grateful. You can DM them to us or email them to [email protected].

Thank you so much, everyone. Fingers crossed someone has a gem or two.

Deepest apologies to Santa — we missed your big day!
Happy belated birthday for 15 March. A youthful 1,756 years old and still going strong.
We can’t wait to have you back on board the Yamba Iluka Christmas Boat this year.

Only 273 days until we’re back shimmering.

A warm, heartfelt thank you to
Tin and Timber Roofing, who’ve supported securing the shed for the Yamba Iluka Christmas Boat. Just like the others who’ve supported us, they asked for nothing in return — only that this beautiful community tradition continues to shine.

We’re still genuinely overwhelmed by the enthusiasm from locals, businesses, and families near and far. Because of you, we’re already in full swing planning for Christmas 2026… and the joy is building!

Hohoho — bring it on!

Next month we’ll let you know of another business who wants to keep the lights shining brightly.b

We couldn’t resist joining the craze — so we asked AI to whip up a caricature of the Yamba Iluka Christmas Boat.

This is the result!
