New Years Eve ('06/'07)

New Years Eve picnic with a top view of the bridge

On New Years Eve I followed the million other people down to Sydney Harbour to watch the fireworks. I went down before midday and already the queue to get to the water was desperately long. If Simon hadn't got down even earlier and bagged a spot near the front of the queue I'd have been standing in line for at least 4 hours. Aleisha joined us and we got a good spot overlooking the bridge at Mrs Macquarie's Point where we spent the day lounging about having a picnic as the people kept on coming.

We certainly didn't have the place to ourselves

By the evening, the place was packed. Showers were forecast but it stayed dry and the moon was even out later on. The fireworks were somewhere between ok and disappointing but once you've seen some, you've seen them all right? Anyway, it was nothing uber-spectacular as the ridiculously biased Australian media might have you believe. It was a lovely picnic though!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
