This New Years I decided not to go down to Falls Festival or NYE by the waterfront and do the lighting but instead hang at home and make the most of the great views I have and watch the fireworks from the comfort of my own balcony. So I invited my family & my girlfriends family over for a BBQ and drinks so they could see in the new year with us while watching the fireworks not only in Melbourne but also the western suburbs.

I got a BBQ for Christmas so I fired it up and cooked up a charcoal storm for everyone and my girlfriend Andi made some yummy salads and deserts. The "family" fireworks kicked off at 9:15pm and gave us a glimpse of what to expect at midnight. After that we kicked back played some guitar hero and watched the full monty

As the clocked ticked closer to midnight a glance out the window we noticed that there were already fireworks going off in the suburbs some 15 mins before midnight. It wasn't just one but at least 7-8 little fireworks displays getting in early it seemed. Then as the clocked finally ticked midnight Melbourne put on a show, a beautiful one at that too.

As I looked over to the suburbs again you could see across the horizon at least 20 fireworks displays going off against the nights sky which looked just amazing. There were still some of them going off until 12:45am!!!

All up it was a great night worth every cent in rent... well at least for one month

Happy New Year.
