Our NYE was spent initially at our neighbor's house having drinks and appetizers while Wonder Woman was projected onto the side of the house. Aram and I really weren't sure where we were going to go to watch the fireworks because it was projected that there would be 1.6 million people alongside the harbour. Everyone there was telling us we had to go, so around 11:20 pm, we left with our neighbors to make our way down to the harbour. We were walking and then the gates were closed because they had reached capacity for the park by the bridge. Luckily we were with our neighbor George who knew somebody and called them. We ended up walking around the neighborhood and were let in at an apartment complex right on the harbour and extremely close to the bridge. We were outside on the grass and easily had one of the best views of the night. Following is video and photos from the firework show, which was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. It went on for about 20 minutes. There were barges in the harbour that had synchronized fireworks, then fireworks in front of the Opera House that were lit of barges and then the Bridge with its amazing display. I read today that the fireworks cost $7 million AUD. It was amazing and am so lucky to have seen this up close and especially with Aram by my side.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!
