| Sydney Bridge fireworks from Vaucluse |
The view of the fireworks from his balcony was breathtaking and made even more special by the angle from where we were situated. The light show reflected across the water of the harbour amongst the many hundreds of boats and their own little twinkling lights. We stood and watched the show in our short sleeves and sipping our whiskeys, decided we were in the best possible place to celebrate this coming year. We ate and drank with wonderful company and, with the many musicians present, made our own jams way into the following morning.
On 1st January 2013 Luke, I and our two friends went down to a very busy Bondi beach and lazed in the sun (the boys surfed) until interrupted by the shark alarm. We're both very happy to have spent the first day of 2013 in such an iconic location, all the way around the other side of the world.
Later on in the evening, we went to Field Day festival at the Domain (a large field next to the Royal Botanic Gardens). We watched The Vaccines, Two Door Cinema Club and Mark Ronson. We drank coffee, as we couldn't face any more alcohol and were impressed to have made it through on so little sleep. We caught the last ferry back to Manly and very slowly, made the 6km walk back to North Curl Curl, stopping to whinge at Freshwater momentarily.
