Cracker Night in Melbourne

nye20101
This crowd was just 1 block from my place last night as they all gathered to watch the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display.   I wasn’t going to go out amongst it last night until I heard that the CBD towers were going to have fireworks going off them.   This has only ever happened twice before (that I know of).   That was for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Commonwealth Games a few years ago.   I ended up being jammed in a fairly bad position in the crowd at the stroke of midnight so my shots are not that great.   But I did get some good shots of the Arts Centre spire.  It was the first time it has been used in the fireworks display.   Overall the crowd was pretty friendly and I didn’t see much drunkeness as we’ve seen in past years.
