New Year's Down Under

December 27, 2006 at 11:05 AM | 0 Comments

If you're Down Under for the New Year, the ultimate celebration takes place at Sydney Harbour, but there are plenty of other good spots to bring in 2007. Melbourne's been shivering through the coldest Christmastime in history, but they'll host a massive fireworks show along the Yarra River near the city center. Bad pre-Christmas weather also meant that a lights show at Federation Square has been moved to NYE.

Queensland's capital, Brisbane, offers the Streets New Year's Eve party on South Bank, and over on the other side of Oz in Perth, you can choose between the Vienna Pops Concert or jazzy NYE on the Rocks. Or if you don't want to celebrate with tens of thousands of revelers, but a few hundred instead, check out the newyearseve.com.au site for a rundown on events in local clubs and pubs around the country.
