The Gold Coast New Years Eve Fireworks are a big part of the family friendly Happy new year gold coasters another end of year celebration. There are several great spots to watch the fireworks. One of the best is from the Southport or Labrador side of the Broadwater where you can see the fireworks over the Surfers Paradise skyline. New Year’s Eve is celebrated in Australia on 31 December each year. The next day (1 January) is a public holiday*, so it is a great excuse to party the night away, countdown to the new year and generally have fun! Fireworks – Last year (2009) we thought the fireworks would be cancelled due to the windy weather. However, they went ahead and were visible from various locations around the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads, mostly at around 9pm and midnight. Few views can compare to the sun rising over the Pacific Ocean and the full moon rising over the water at night is so huge you won’t believe it’s real. Beaches are generally safe places to walk after dark, but use your common sense (don’t walk alone in a totally deserted place like The Spit at 3am), but if you stick to populated beaches at reasonable hours (ie. 6am to 12am), you really shouldn’t have anything to worry about New Years Eve 2011 Beach party pt2 Gold Coast Australia
