So how did they do it?
Well the 22-metre tree had a whopping total of 518,838 sparkling lights, to absolutely hammer the previous attempt in Japan which had 374,280 lights.
According to local media, Christmas fan David Richards brought together a host of local volunteers and engineers, carpenters and steel fixers to put together the enormous tree – which was topped off nicely with a 1.5-metre star that had 12,000 twinkling lights.
The display was created in order to raise money for Canberra’s Sudden Infant Death Syndrome charity SIDS and Kids.
