Fireworks!






We spent New Years Eve camping on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour. Of course the reason for this was to watch the New Years fireworks. There are two displays - one of 8 minutes duration at 9pm and one of 12 mins duration at midnight. Of course the iphone camera doesn't catch the full magnificence of what was really a spectacular display, but I hope this gives a "feel" for it. The nearest ones were let off from a barge moored right in front of us, so it was like having our own private display. The farther away ones were on and over the Harbour Bridge.

  3. NOt bad for a phone camera. I didn't manage very well with the DSLR (local fireworks, not city).

  6. Great vantage point. I was at Pyrmont and my sister went to Clarke Island, on the other side of the bridge and her photos were better than mine.
