Auld Lang Syne World!

Being one of the first major cities to ring in the New Year around the world, Sydney also has one of the world’s largest firework display. The $5 million extravaganza showcases the harbor bridge and the Sydney Opera House drawing in a crowd of almost 1.5 million people.


We had hoped that leaving at 1pm would have been early enough to get a good seat at Mrs. Macquaries Point but there was not a spot of grass among the crowd of 20,000 people and we decided on Ruschutter’s Bay, a little less claustrophobic location. Glittery party hats on and a bottle of wine in hand, we were ready to celebrate!
