cam_uk

this will be the first year in over 8 years that i'm not djing on nye!!! :scared:

we're definately going to do to south bank .. emily is only 2 and i reckon she will LOVE the fireworks as she loved the display i put on back in the UK for bonfire night ..

I've heard it gets very very busy tho .. may catch the citycat in from hamilton rather than trying to find somewhere to park!!!

We will be heading out the city tomorrow at 2pm and driving up to Mooloolaba for sand, sun and sea...def sea to cool down

probably spending NYE at the Surf Club

Can't do the Sunshine Coast bit as at work New Years Day.. haven't seen any fireworks since we got here so getting withdrawl symptoms what with there being no Bonfire Night.

If we hadn't a five month old baby we would be heading out to the Southbank, as it is we will probably have a BBQ in the evening with any friends or family who are free. We haven't anything organised as yet. Depending on how much sleep our little man has let us have the night before will determine whether we will be up to see the New Year in.

Went to South Bank last year (first time, first new year in oz). Armed with picnic and champers and kids.
Disappointed that we had to return the champers to our car (no alcohol allowed).
Otherwise, a great night.
Really!

Would suggest next time adding bacardi or scotch to your coke in picnic first! Or inject your oranges with vodka! Great being treated like a kid again and not being allowed to drink.
If I recall, there are fireworks on at 9 pm (with the kids in mind) and midnight.

It's a good night - first I ever had sober - until I got home that is. Been invited to a party this year so will skip South Bank.

Done South Bank when we were on holiday, so this year we are going to Main beach with a few friends, so we can watch the fireworks at surfers. Drinks a plenty.

Thanks for the info, will head there tonight to make sure we dont have to dress up (as not packed anything like a school uniform)

As for kids.. dont have to worry about that...

And the more people the better... cant wait...

Have a great time yourself

Will pass on school uniform as well especially Aus one very neighbours and home and away...LOL.

Rumour has it Redcliffe and Scarbourgh do fireworks as well.

Did you mean no kids South Bank after nine???

debreeve

Have decided Brisbane it is for fireworks at nine and midnight if i'm still up as there seems to be quite a bit going on there.

Have a happy new year everyone.

I heard 100,000 people are expected so I would definitely leave the car at home.
