Next we go to
Jericho, on the banks of the Jordan Creek and south of Lake Galilee. This tiny Queensland town has a modern feature celebrating the Biblical town name. The Crystal Trumpeters were constructed in 1988 to depict the Biblical story where the Israelites marched around the walls of
Jericho for six days and on the seventh day blew their trumpets and the city walls collapsed.

The Crystal Trumpeteers
The crystals symbolise various moments in the Old Testament such as the slavery in Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, the receiving of the Ten Commandments, the crossing of the River Jordan and the arrival in
the Promised Land.
The
Jericho Drive-In Theatre, built by the Council in 1969, holds thirty cars, plus seating for walk-ins and is perhaps the world's smallest operating drive-in theatre. Movies are shown once a month.
