Happy New Year to all our family and friends

Well we hope you all had a great New Year and saw in 2011, we did which was great. We had a great night around 8.00pm saw us head out and off to Kings Beach which is an amazing beach about 20mins from us, we had heard there were to be Fire Works there at 9.15pm. We drove to Caloundra and along with 100s of other people parked our car and walked the boardwalk around to Kings beach, it was a beautiful evening, we found a good spot on the bank and sat and waited for the display to begin on time at 9.15pm.
It was a fantastic display and went for around 20mins so well worth going and seeing, there was a bit of a strong wind blowing so some of the fireworks had a bit of trouble getting up high however it was still a great time.
We made a slow trip back to the car with many others all armed with torches it looked really pretty. In the car and we were home in no time.
We sat and had a few drinks and watched the TV I think we watched the show they had in the park at Brisbane, and the fireworks at midnight from the Sydney Harbour Bridge that was fantastic. That was our New Year, another quiet one however we did see it in.
Hope you all have a great 2011.
