New Years Eve on the Harbour

On New Years Eve we had a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch the fireworks from a boat on the Harbour. Lloyd took us out his boat for this occasion. We were joined by other Rotarians Andy Britain and Martin Tabone, as well as Andy's wife Pam and Kathi, the Austrian exchange student.

We ventured out for the harbour early in the morning and toured around all of Sydney from the ocean. We then settled in at our spot near Taronga zoo for the fireworks around 2 o'clock. After a good Australian barbecue we were ready for the fireworks. There were 6 barges (I think) full of fireworks and they were lined up down the Harbour. So we were very close to the action! They also set off fireworks from the top of buildings on both the north and south side of the harbour. After the fireworks were finished we drove to a calm area and slept on the boat for the rest of the night.

Cristin and I had a great time. I am sure that we will never forget our 2007 New Year celebration.
