New Years Eve - Sydney

New Years Eve Sydney = Best New Years ever..



We started from Rose Bay and boarded our Yacht , a few of us skeptical that the boat would be packed (but there was more then enough room) , there was 25 of us and another 9 from another group which I'm sure they got a shock when they saw the sheer amount of drink that was been taken onto the boat by us, probably enough to make a large elephant pass out!

We arrived at our destination in the harbour at 7ish and had a brilliant view of the fireworks right near the front of all the boats (which included what looked like an irish famine ship and a refugee boar)

9pm arrived and the mini fireworks display was kicked off (the kiddies one) there was 2 different displays one from the harbour bridge / opera house and one just across from us from a pontoon that were synced to go off at the same time, they certainly weren't Henry Street screamers!!

We saw a boat go by that tickets were advertised for $450 a head and it was absolutely crammed.


Midnight arrived and the display was amazing worth every penney our view was amazing and the fireworks were unbelievable - think Skyfest x 1,000,000,00!

We were out until 2am but after 12 or so it's a blur! A once in a lifetime thing...



Not drunk at all...I swear





The Refugee Boat that got lost on the way to Christmas Island


The Police were keeping an eye on us!
