Celebrating New Year’s Eve Sydney style

There is something about celebrating the end of one year and the start of a new year. It is a chance to remember the good times and commemorate the bad times. It is also a great time to set a positive tone for the New Year.

This year I got to spend New Year in Sydney; partly to celebrate my sister’s “big birthday” as well as to see in the New Year in one of the world’s most amazing cities.

My little sister and I were able to score tickets to The Opera Bar’s New Year’s Eve event, which was amazing and I couldn’t think of a better way of celebrating the end of 2014. It had a Tropicana theme which included beach like decor (very cool) and “acts” which were funny and the food was perfect. The music was also pretty good.

But really, it was the Opera Bar’s prime location that made it the perfect spot. Luckily enough we were able to get seats right by the water and while sipping on GHMume champagne we chatted away and enjoying the perfect view of the fireworks, which were breath taking beautiful and beyond amazing.

New Year’s in Sydney would not be the same without a visit to the beach.

1^st January saw us celebrate our sister’s birthday at Reef’s Beach, which was one of her personal favourites.

There was cake, (more) champagne, laughing, chatting, swimming and just enjoying an amazing view.

Soon enough it was time to go pack and endure the five hour flight back to Perth.

 So Happy New Year everyone and I hope 2015 is everything that you want it to be.
