Thoughts And Recollections Of A Tree Spirit

New Year 2008 in Sydney

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Well, we travelled to Sydney via the ferry from Parramatta and arrived in Circular Key around 5.30pm. Festivities were just starting to get under way with more and more people arriving by the minute, all either on their way to pre-arranged places with ticket entry only, or just finding a spot to park themselves for the night. We started off by getting ourselves a luxury ice cream and just standing for a while watching all the hustle and bustle around us.

Ice creams finished we set off to find a convenience store from which to stock up on munchie food and drink for the night. This important task accomplished we then made our way over to the north side of Sydney Harbour Bridge where we had spotted a nice little green patch of grass as we went past in the ferry. We decided the best plan of action was to park ourselves somewhere with a good view of the bridge, not too near to Circular Key that we would be sardined in with millions of people, but still close enough that we could feel part of the festivities.
