The rain seems to have cleared and whilst it is still cloudy the sun is shining and the temperature is 25°c.
Bradleys Head can be seen more clearly than before but to my surprise there appear to be no people camped there waiting for the fireworks as in previous years. I wonder whether the Police have blocked off the area for local residents only as they have done in other parts of harbour frontage areas.
Off Double Bay there are a few more cruisers anchored ahead of the fireworks.
Small craft gathering at Neutral Bay.
The easterly breezes continue leaving all craft facing away from the main fire works sites.
I am not sure that I like the sound of this blocking off of public harbour land for local residents.
ReplyDeleteHours later I saw massed crowds at Bradleys Head. Blocking off harbour frontages for NYE is not quite what it sounds. Firstly, only registered motor vehicles from within the restricted area and Public transport are permitted in after a certain time. Visitors can make their way in by foot but the restrictions enable the Police to limit numbers and prevent dangerous overcrowding.
