For New Year's Eve 2006 / New Year 2007 my friends Joe, Cicely and Brian came out for a visit. I am not sure how, but somehow Joe managed to score tickets on one of the boats in the parade of ships which offer the best view of the fireworks.

...a three hour tour. This is the boat that we watched the fireworks from.

Here are the 9 o'clock fireworks they set off for the kids who can't stay up for the real deal.

There were tones of boats in the “parade” like ours, all dressed up like this sailing ship with lights and pizzazz.

More baots in the parade. The bridge's diamond jubalee (75 years) was one of the themes of the evening so there were lots of diamonds about.

The bridge is sometimes referred to as “the world's largest coat hanger”.

Of course there was something going on at the Opera House.

We all thought they had shurely set off all the fireworks for the early show since it was so impressive. We were about to be blasted with something way more exciting, starting with a few warning shots off the bridge.

Then to our left the city started to erupt in sound and light.

It only took me 22 months to get around to processing these images.

The Show

Yesterday, I went to the Sydney Royal Easter Show (or "The Show" in common speech) with my mum. From what I had heard over the years, it's sort of like a really big state fair, although granted, mostly what I have heard about the show is how the "show bags" aren't as good as they used to be. Mum seemed to take offence at such a characterization, because what makes The Show special is the scale of the thing (to wit: really big), and after spending a day at The Show, I have to admit The Show is special. (Show Details...) I'd do it again next year. I took lots of pictures. There are some more here: http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/060410/
