Watch Night sounds like a great tradition, Jerry.

It's evening of New Year's Day here in Sydney. I have spent quite a bit of time in the last few days going for long walks around the harbour.

Last night I went with friends down to the harbour, to watch the 9.00 pm fireworks. Later we sat on a balcony at a house in the inner city (Glebe) watching the midnight fireworks across the city skyline. This morning the city was given a good soaking - rain - which we need so much, bucketing down.

It has been a very peaceful day, a good way to start the year. Happy New Year everyone!
