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.
