Wednesday 30^th December 2015

Local advice was to go around to the main harbour today and find a good spot to watch the fireworks tomorrow, before the mad rush started.  So we set off mid-morning through the Spit bridge again and round to Athol Bay where we tucked in behind Bradley’s Head.  There were just a few boats already there, so we had our pick of the spots and ended up with a good view of the harbour bridge.  Then we just sat back and watched as other boats gradually began to fill the bay.

We passed dinghies out racing in Middle Harbour.                                           Our view of the bridge from our spot in Athol Bay.

Relaxing and watching the bay fill up with boats.

The sun setting behind the towers of Sydney CBD.                                            All quiet as the light fades over the city.

Looking forward to tomorrow night!
