Famous around the world as the first really big celebration of any new year, we decided to try to get into the fairly chilled out viewing area overlooking the bridge and opera house, known as Mrs Macquarie's Chair. The queues snaked around The Domain for 2 hours in hot sun, until we finally made it as one of the 17000 people limit. We passed a relatively pleasant afternoon and evening waiting for the action to start; the flying foxes wheeled above us when the aerobatic display took a break. We saw the 9pm fireworks from waterside and then found a view of the bridge for the midnight main event. It was truly spectacular, with a waterfall of light falling from the harbour bridge and the City as the backdrop for the display. A fleet of boats dressed with lights paraded too. We crushed into trains to get back... A memorable day. It's 2014.
