Western Sydney just went electric. Bella Vista Farm — the sandstone jewel of The Hills, where Dharug astronomers once read the stars and the Macarthurs sowed the seeds of Australia’s wool trade — is being reborn under lights, lasers, and pulsating sound. For one month only, the paddocks, orchards and convict tracks of this heritage estate are transformed into a living storybook.
This is Echoes – Luna Light Journey: an immersive night walk that fuses art, history, and spectacle. You’ll wander fluorescent flower fields, follow glowing roads, and stand under constellations retold by projection. It’s history told loud, bright, and interactive — heritage rewritten in neon. Forget trekking to the city for Vivid; Western Sydney just dropped its own blockbuster after-dark festival, and it’s got more cultural clout than your average night at the Opera House.

The BioHax Take
Imagine a farm where wool once ruled the economy, now ruling Instagram grids. Bella Vista Farm has been flipped on its head with Echoes – a sensory overload of lasers, projections, and heritage retold. You’re not just walking through history, you’re inside it — watching Dharug star stories blaze across the night sky, flowers fluoresce like they’re dosed with rave pills, and convict paths glow as if the past itself has been reprogrammed.
This is The Hills’ comeback story. A rural relic turned cultural powerhouse. The city can keep its fireworks; Western Sydney has lasers and food trucks.
