New Years Eve – tick……..
To start the year with a bang we
scored four tickets to ‘Wonderland’. An amazing event held at Dawes Point,
Sydney.
For some reason I failed to comprehend the magnitude of NYE
in Sydney. For the past 20 years, NYE has consisted of grabbing our camp
chairs, eskys, couple of kids and swatting in a friends backyard. Usually I’ve
had enough by 10.30pm and am fast asleep by midnight! Not this year, this year
we got to hang out with a ga-zillion million people and party!
Wonderland was totally phenomenal. The venue was magical and
had the most outstanding view of the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Circular
Key. Not only did we have the best view in the house, it came with our own DJ,
2day FM broadcasting live, free thongs (I know how incredibly Australian), just
loved it. And to top it off the sponsors included Lyndt and Magnum, which meant
we had free chocolate and ice-cream all night – I thought I had died and gone
to heaven. Really no joke I was beside myself.
At one stage I was lining up to get a soft drink. There
were 2 younger (30ish) women in front of me. Both weighed, combined 10kg and
were wearing socks as dresses, any hoo one remarked to the other that the free
thongs must be cheap as the smelled very ‘rubbery’ WTF!. She needed a good ‘thong
slapping’ that one.
There was some seating and tables in the venue, however
we had a rug which we laid out on the grass. About an hour in a lovely young
man bent done and asked if I would like his chair. I kindly declined, whilst overhearing
the giggling from my ever grateful family. Clearly I am not ageing well!
