NYE in Sydney

We were invited to a brilliant cocktail party by some friends just down the road for new years eve. Their flat is a bit higher up and futher along than ours so we had a brilliant view of the fireworks.

there were 2 sets, one at 9 and another at 12 - apparently 5 tonnes in all! they had 4 different sets going off at the same time on the bridge and then on barges up the river, really amazing although my camera wasn't great at get pics of it.

The party was particularly unique because of Will and Rachel's chinese lanterns which we set off at midnight, really beautiful. Thankfully the people in the flat downstairs were able to catch mine and set it off again before it started burning down the houses. Will's BBQ skills have to be noted too!
