New Year's Eve 2008

Sydney, Australia loves New Year's Eve! The world watches Sydney ring in the New Year and everyone in Sydney comes to the harbour to watch the fireworks. We decided to take the 45 minute train ride in to the city to celebrate and join the crowds. After walking around near the Harbour Bridge and Opera House - we headed to Matt's office to watch the show in relative peace with a few co-workers families. The first show at 9pm was amazing but the second show at midnight was spectacular as fireworks shot up from six different barges, the Harbour Bridge and some of the taller buildings in the city. Rather than fight the mass exodus on the train, we brought air mattresses and sleeping bags and spent the night. It was a really fun time - a great memory of our amazing time we have spent in this beautiful city!
