NYE06

We ummed and ahhed about it, but in the end we bundled the kids into the car, drove to the nearest railstation and made our way into the city for NewYearsEve 2006. Given our late planning, we didn't have tickets for anywhere, and so decided to get to the grounds of the Opera House - where we should get a good view of the 9pm Family Fireworks.

And we did.

Amelia (and Callum) was very good considering she had to sit outside in a small area for nearly 6 hours.

We didn't think she would forgive us if we stayed another 3 hours for the main event (plus getting out of the city would have taken hours), so watched the midnight fireworks on the tv.
