Sydney harbor proved to be all expected and more last night, with 13mil in attendance, and 7 tons/5mil$ in fireworks.
Stayed for both the 9pm show and the midnight finale. Camped down in Lady Macquarie's Chair and the royal botanical gardens. I couldnt get over these huge bats that just flutter around in the day just as birds in the park anywhere else. The cockatoos obviously were unnerved by the mass of ppl in their normally quiet haven, as their screeching their protest in the treetops...or perhaps they were just joining in the hoopla?? Im going with the latter.
Much to tell but no time. Its new years day here, and heading to Bondi to relax and recover. Everyone back stateside should be gearing up for their countdown in the coming hours. Be safe and have a blast whatever you may do.
Happy 2011 !
