Christmas trees made of LEGO have been built for years. However, this tree stands out because of its sheer size. Standing at ten metres tall, the tree is the largest LEGO structure in the Southern Hemisphere.
According to Mashable, the tree took 1200 hours and half a million bricks to build. A koala and Santa on a surfboard were included for some Australian flair.
The tree is located at the Westfield Sydney shopping centre beneath the Sydney Tower in the heart of Sydney, Australia.
Naturally, it’s become quite the temporary tourist destination with many people sharing pictures online.
