Tonight is one of the biggest nights in the Sydney social calendar. The city is world renowned for heralding each New Year with unrivalled pyrotechnic displays and a party atmosphere that's so potent the celebrations have to be broken into to parts, just in case the lightweight partygoers are overcome before midnight. Preparations begin months in advance, with celebrity guests being flown across the globe or numerous special appearances, this year the whispers are around Leonard DiCaprio and Jamie Fox partying at
The Star Casino, the Chemical Brothers, Knife Party and Fedde le Grand are all taking to the decks at Bondi Beacs one night music fest,
Shore Thing. Australia's sweetheart Kylie Minogue is leading the charge at the fireworks display from
Sydney Harbour Bridge, while anyone who makes it through tonight's celebrations can carry on the party at
Field Day in the Royal Botanic Gardens where DJ sets by Mark Ronson and live performances by Hot Chip and Two Door Cinema Club, amongst many others, will rock the Domain.
As for me I enjoyed a delicious, wine and cocktail fuelled dinner at Malaya on
King St Wharf with some friends. At 11.30 we hopped in a cab home to Surry Hills where we rang in the New Year with cheap bubbly on our rooftop, with glimpses of the spectacular fireworks in the distance. We listened to cheesy tunes and chatted til the wee hours. 2013 is already off to a great start!
See you all there....
