New Year's Eve in Melbourne

The sun sets in Melbourne for the last time in 2011 and the crowds start to gather at Birrarung Marr.


The 'pre' fireworks get under way at Yarra Park, next to the MCG...


At 11pm the 'great balls of fire' from Crown Casino are set off...


We find a seat on the banks of the Yarra to watch the show...


Midnight... Fireworks are set off from 16 different sites across the city-scape...


10 tonnes of fireworks were ignited (3 tonnes more than Sydney)...


The Arts Centre tower is the focal point of the finale...


"The Harbour Bridge is beautiful, but when you see the gold that is the Melbourne moment this year, it will be absolutely spectacular," - Melbourne Lord Mayor.

Happy New Year!!
