Sydney: Day Seventy-Three - Afternoon (31 December)

After buying a sandwich for later we caught a train to Milson's Point, which is just the other side of the harbour bridge with a fabulous view of the Opera House. We found a good spot on Stanton Lookout and sat down to wait.


There was a lovely atmosphere and the time passed very quickly. It wasn't cold at all.



A special timer on the bridge counted down to midnight and then fireworks went off across its whole span. They were reflected in the harbour and on the Opera House and there were lasers between the high rises in the Central Business District. It was brilliant :-). So good they even showed it on British telly.


Afterwards we walked home across the bridge where the fireworks had just been. Magical!
