We flew from Melbourne to Sydney on the morning of December 31. We had the best taxi driver on our way to the hotel from the airport, and we talked all about our new years resolutions! The night would be his first night driving for New Years, so we wished him best of luck transporting all the late night party-goers. And we headed off to our party!
The Botanical Gardens, we heard, were one of the top places to watch the fireworks over the Sydney harbour. So we got in line about 10 am, and waited with the thousands of others ready to get into the park.

It was probably one of the crazier things I've done with my time... spend 15 hours waiting for fireworks that would last less than a half an hour... but it was an experience I wouldn't trade for anything!
The rest of the time in Sydney was spent wandering the streets, visiting Manley Island (Which isn't actually an island where we rented bikes, eating Western food, sitting in the lawn near the opera house reading and enjoying the sunshine, visiting the fish market, and climbing up the Sydney Harbour Bridge!
