[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 111819, member: 1991"] We just passed midnight on 31 December 2007 here in Sydney, so it's officially New Year's Day here, down under. Here's hoping that 2008 will be a good year for us all and as husband says, The world cannot end today ... because it is already tomorrow (next year!) in Australia. We mostly watched it on TV but we did duck out to see what we could see from outside, looking to the harbour. We can only see the higher shells, but the colour was much better than on TV. We had promised difficult child 3 that he would be permitted one, weak, alcoholic drink to toast the New Year. I have no fears he will become an alcoholic - he will have no need to sneak drinks and we intend to give him a taste for expensive quality he cannot afford to guzzle. So, one toast together - and that is enough alcohol for another year (him and me both!). Have a look, by now there will be other links, from TV networks as well as youtube links. It really was spectacular - not just the Harbour Bridge, but also the skyscrapers as well as barges loaded with fireworks, in the Harbour itself. And the usual finale with a cascade of fire from the deck of the Bridge itself. husband is on the phone to family around the country - it's still 10 pm in Perth, I hope they don't ring us for midnight! So, Happy New Year everyone, from Sydney! Marg, Marg's Man and family [/QUOTE]
