 New Year celebrations have been momentous this time round, starting with a stinking hot day the holiday makers  soon got into the swing of things at Beach Park.
 Family’s made their yearly pilgrimage up Beach Street to the Esplanade where the fireworks were to be set off.  After waiting sometime people soon realised that the weather was indeed changing, within a space of half an hour clouds gathered overhead and it started to rain, a tropical storm eventuated and fork lighting was instead the only light show around.
People had by this time made their way back to the park in a flurry to get some shelter,  they realised the fireworks were a no goer.
Mother nature certainly made up for the firworks, suddenly the lights went out in the park and candles and torches where the theme for the festivities in the barbeque barn that night.
New Years Day emerged slugishly late as a sleep in was the best medicine for most party animals.,apart from one,a lone possum who was pointed out that day, sadly  fryed at the top of the power pole on the corner of Mckenzie Road and Beach Street.
