New Year's Eve in Sydney AU(31/12/06)






New Year's Eve is a pretty huge thing here. In particular,watching the fireworks at the Harbor Bridge/Opera House is a big thing, and attracts massive crowds. We had heard you had to head down early to get a good spot so we headed down about 1:00pm, with some new Canadian friends to meet our German dorm-mates(Climens and Tina see pics) from the hostel...You can drink all you want, but if you have to use the toilets, you are totally screwed as I found out...I completely missed the first set of fireworks at 9pm even though I left for the toilets at 8:15pm and they were only about 100ft. away...it was absurd! The fireworks however were amazing they were all over the harbour and behind us on buildings...everywhere, not to mention they started them off with a Rufus W. tune...it was superb...
