Re: New year celebrations
Hi John A
Down here in Cooma the Council put on a display in the park, we are to old for it these days, fireworks outside the official ones are a no no these days, the Govt prefer the controlled ones, brilliant show for over one million people in Sydney.
Cheers for the New Year
