This 3.5 ton LEGO tree is the tallest in the southern hemisphere

</p> <p>Via <a href="http://lego.gizmodo.com/this-three-and-a-half-ton-lego-tree-is-the-tallest-in-t-1664291958">Leg Godt</a>. </p> <blockquote><p>Using of a combination of Duplo and Lego bricks, the Aussies have erected a 32.8 foot Lego Christmas at the Pitt Street Mall in Sydney. A team of five dedicated builders spent 1,200 hours planning and constructing the mammoth tree which will be on display until December 26th.</p> <p>As well as being absolutely huge, this display also has some really cool sub-builds like a Christmas Koala, Santa holding a surfboard (it is summer in Australia after all), basketball sized ornaments and a big pile of gifts and a reindeer that was designed by 10-year-old Lego Club member Luke Francis. If that isn’t overwhelming enough, the whole display also lights up!</p> <p>Builds of this caliber are incredible. Seeing them move gigantic Lego constructions around with fork lifts and cranes is truly an amazing sight.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://lego.gizmodo.com/this-three-and-a-half-ton-lego-tree-is-the-tallest-in-t-1664291958">Read more.</a></p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" width="850" height="478" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/N1HTWKc_Svs?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
