Some of us are working the night before so may need a few matchsticks for the eyes, but I'm sure I will cope.....
Pig and Whistle, thats the big one by the river, in Eagle Street, anytime from about midday on New Year's Day

Sounds great and thanks to Cappucino for telling me about it as I had not seen this post. Providing we can get a bus or train into the CBD we'll come along!

Shouldn't be a problem as we have friends who travel up from Gold Coast via rail each year. Which area you travelling from ?
