New Year

New Year celebrations were fairly low key (as they have been for a number of years now). Compared to the localised firework bonanza in Denmark with everyone pitching in with a few rockets and screamers, Australians take a more civilised and centralised approach with a ban on fireworks.

At a quarter to nine o’clock we headed down to the Brisbane River to see the fireworks display for children. This was a warm-up session before the midnight display for adults.

The following morning we practiced our rocket launching skills in the park (see pics below).
