Thats what we did. We stayed in our area as the local council had many activities planned. Fireworks went off at 9pm, which was great for the kids. We decided to stick with 'Aussie Tradition' and have a bbq on the Bay. It was a great day.
It was so refreshing to see so many Australians really getting into the spirit of the day. I didn't think it would go this well this year, as people are still a little christmased out! But hey everyone was into it!
