New Years - Sydney

Caked Karen

Hey Guys,

hope everyone had a good christmas

just wondering what is the story with new years and down around circular quay/opera house etc
seeing as its my fist year here i want to hopefully go down and take in the fireworks and all from down there but wondering if there are tickets need to be bought and all that or is it a case of get down there and stay put?
would you need to get down there very early as i dont know if i fancy spending the whole day sitting down there...especially if there is meant to be a no alcohol ban :O

was checking out going to Glebe Island gig but its about 200 dollars so not sure with that either...

Im living in the Eastern Suburbs so dont really fancy travelling north

Any ideas would be great

Thanks
Karen

Check out the offical website http://www.sydneynewyearseve.com/
You need tickets for certain areas (like the highway etc)
The botanic gardens will be JAMMED you really need to be there around 3pm to get any decent spot and since it's all family orientated it's strictly no alcohol.

If you want to stick east side, how about rushcutters bay/yaranbee park It's says no alcohol, but the last few years it has been allowed - The further north you go the better view and about 20mins away from train station.
