The official program of events includes live bands, street entertainment, dance stages, a spectacular fireworks display, a fun fair, and hundreds of thousands of revelers welcoming in the New Year.

We travelled up via coach – very long journey but we had a fun crowd on the bus which was good.  I don’t have much to blog about as we began drinking very early on the 31st in order to celebrate the countdown for every timezone from New Zealand (+13 hrs GMT) right across all 4 Australian timezones until finally we reached midnight in the UK.  Needless to say it was great fun but i’m very hazy on all the celebrations 🙂
