The Illawarra night sky was lit up in a frenzy of colour on Friday night surrounding the Breakwater Lighthouse on Wollongong Harbour. Social Media went into overdrive as Illawarra residents all the way from Bulli to Dapto reported bright lights moving throughout the sky. Those who did follow the lights to satisfy their curiosity were rewarded with a unique ‘pop-up’ light show unlike Wollongong Harbour had ever seen.
CMG Audio Visual, in conjunction with the NSW Cancer Council put on a lead-up show to remember with the main event to occur on the 4th of June 2016 at the Wollongong UniHall.
The pop-up light show featured 26 weather-resistant IP54 LightSky AquaBeam and 8 ShowPro Hex36 LED Flood fixtures controlled by a MA Lighting Dot2 Console – with ultra-bright Projection of the Stars of Wollongong, Cancer Council NSW and CMG AV logos provided by a Barco RLM-W8 Projector and Coolux Media System.
The Stars of Wollongong Dance for Cancer event will showcase the dancing skills of twelve local Illawarra personalities, aiming to raise funds for the outstanding support services of the Cancer Council NSW Southern Region. In its second year, CMG Audio Visual is proud to partner with what is fast becoming one of the Illawarra’s most popular charitable fundraisers with more than 500 expected attendees.
Proceeds from the event contribute to the various local Cancer Council support services, directly helping those living with cancer in our Illawarra Community. These services include the Cancer Information Centre at Wollongong Hospital, free transport to cancer treatment, in home help, access to financial, legal and emotional support as well as funding a number of prevention programs and world-class research projects.
