Thanks to info from John, we managed to catch a big fireworks display at the Darling Harbour.
The tourism authorities here know how world famous their New Year fireworks display is, thus in the run up to that hotel packing event, they've hatched an idea so tourists don't feel left out. There are specific nights where you catch it a bit earlier and tell everyone back home
- I've seen it ! -
Very clever of them don't you think ?
Come an hour beforehand and pick your spot. There'll be people waiting to see it at every available space especially those nearest to the water .
Anyway, this was an interesting departure from the norm where you just stroll around , mingle or eat or go visit Hard Rock , the aquarium, the kids playground further up ,which is fantastic btw.....etc, etc , etc
I mean, I don't know anyone who doesn't like fireworks except for grouchy new mums with panda eyes .
The Darling Harbour of today, is not as breathtaking as when I first saw it during a maiden trip years ago .
In a revisit, it looked so weather beaten, but today, it looks terribly boxed in , with all the massive development stacked around it, I wish you saw it back then !
That's the finale. Blurry pic or not it's still going up yep ;)

Fireworks really seem to come of age in Australia over the last few years. When I was a kid they weren't very creative, or did they go for very long. They'd just send the rockets up over a period of 15 minutes or so and everyone would then just walk off. Good to see so much effort being put into it these days!
