Camping Out In Sydney Harbor

Since Thanksgiving is only days away, we might as well begin to plan our trip for New Year’s Eve, right? If you’re thinking about heading down under to ring in 2009, then you may want to consider one of New South Wales’ national parks.

Starting on December 1, the park service is opening ticket sales for Shark, Clark and Goat Islands within Sydney Harbor National Park. Obviously, these locations are going to offer the premier location for taking in the holiday celebration--especially the fireworks.

Passes will cost you, with each adult ticket going for A$160 ($104). Thankfully, your admission includes a ferry ride out to your island of choice. You’ll sort of be roughing it on the islands, so make sure to bring your own food and (adult?) beverages. Act quickly, as there are fewer than 2,000 tickets available in total across the three islands.
