Enjoy an alternative Australian New Year in Brisbane
31 Oct 2008
It may not get the press coverage that its flashier sister Sydney gets at New Year's, but Brisbane truly holds its own on 31 December.
Anyone looking for an alternative to Sydney should try Brisbane, which sees a huge 80,000 visitors head there every year for a feast of fireworks, music and frivolity.
The South Bank of the city is the place to head, with a special fireworks show at 9pm for families and a bigger event at midnight.
Although there is no alcohol allowed for safety reasons, the party is still a great event that will keep all the family entertained for hours – it also means you won't feel rough on New Year's Day and will be able to take in the city at its summery best.
One of the great attractions of Brisbane is in its great climate, which at December is at its best.
For those who prefer indoor entertainment, many don't call Brisbane Bris Vegas for nothing – it has a huge number of exciting casinos and gambling destinations.
