Every year, a touch of Christmas magic arrives at the State Library of South Australia. Staying true to tradition, our very own SA Power Networks elves have once again been instrumental in bringing this iconic festive display to life.

A massive thank you to the our CBD Operations Team for their incredible effort in installing SA’s largest indoor Christmas tree, standing an impressive seven meters tall in the stunning Mortlock Wing of South Australia's State Library.

Megan Berghuis, Director of the State Library of South Australia, shared her gratitude saying, "We are very grateful for the continued support of SA Power Networks. Christmas at the Mortlock is now a much-loved part of Adelaide's festive season, and it wouldn’t be possible without this wonderful partnership. Thank you to everyone who contributed to putting up our beautiful tree in the Mortlock Chamber. It truly brings the Christmas spirit to life and joy to all who visit."

Special thanks to Matt, Lauren, Jake, and Mitchel (not pictured) for constructing and decorating this magnificent tree.
