The theme for the Sydney New Year's Eve celebrations to bring in 2012 was Time To Dream. Marc Newson was the new Creative Director; he is an award winning designer and is currently the Creative Director of Qantas Airways.

The 9pm fireworks were viewed from a terrific vantage point at Birchgrove Oval . I met my previous neighbours (prior to re-locating to Melbourne this time just under 12 months ago) and settled down for a picnic for almost 90 minutes before the fireworks started, and there was still an abundance of space available despite getting there at almost the last minute. This was a site where alcohol was BYO.

The 9pm fireworks were dazzling, yet 10 minutes this time round flew real quickly. The midnight fireworks were really spectacular, and I loved it how they were in sync along the vantage points along Sydney Harbour in the city. The Harbour Bridge claimed the spotlight once again, and Sydney went up in smoke by an easy $6.5 million. Time to Dream was a fitting and relevant theme for 2012; if the current world is meant to end by the end of this year.

What do you think of the recent New Years Eve celebrations?

The taxi driver who drove me to the airport yesterday to catch my flight back home to Melbourne says "it's all the same every year."

For those of you who watched the fireworks in the city, was it worth the wait? And the crowds? And what did you get up to afterwards to party? Happy and healthy new year to you.
