Birchgrove, Sunday December 31st 2006.
There are two firework shows in Sydney on New Years Eve. This is the 9.00 show for families and later at midnight is the main event with a spectacular fireworks show dubbed a Diamond Night in the Emerald City, with the event also ringing in the anniversary of the Harbour Bridge, which celebrates its 75th birthday in 2007. Over a million people are expected to view them at vantage points all over the city. I would like to wish all my visitors a very happy New Year.

Festive fun or tastelessly tacky? Christmas light displays far more elaborate than this can be found in suburbs all over Sydney. Merry Christmas everyone.
