Last night, we went to southbank for watching firework. That was a great show!

At 11:59:50, the music  from the speakers was started.  We started the countdown too. At the midnight, the fireworks began! The firework was great, that was the best I ever seen in Brisbane. A ton of fireworks fired to the sky above Brisbane River, the whole sky was full of various patterns of fireworks. I have not seen large scale firework show in Brisbane before. That was very cool.

Moreover, there were some fireworks from the roof of high rise in CBD.

Some fireworks have sound too. When they fired, the fireworks created “Sa Sa” sounds, that is quite interesting.

I have seen a number times of firework display in Brisbane, the best one. Even transport arrangement is the best,  after 9pm, all public transport came free of charge. Thus, we took a free bus to southbank and back by a free bus too!

More photos of this firework display in my photo gallery.

If you are going to watch the firework at midnight, that is a good news. According to Translink, all buses, trains and ferries are free from 9pm to tomorrow 5.30am. So, we can go to watch fireworks for free!

Tomorrow, that is New Year Eve. That will be the time to watch Firework again! Tomorrow Night 8.30pm and Mid-night at 2014, there will be fireworks in the sky above Brisbane River. Of course, I will go to southbank for this firework display which has been called largest-ever in Brisbane.

If you do not want to go out, you can watch the live stream from youtube for Sydney Firework . The live stream will be started from tomorrow 8.30pm Sydney Time.

(P.S. Special Thanks to a friend to provide the information of live stream for Sydney Firework).

This afternoon, I went a shopping center near my home. I found the car park was almost full. Inside the shopping center, there were many people too. Moreover, I found a lot of people were in BigW and Woolworth. I guess they were busy with buying Christmas presents or buying food for their big Christmas feast! That sounds everyone is keen to go out for shopping today. No doubts, the major shopping centers in Brisbane will extend their trading hours to mid-night for Christmas Shopping!

There is another must-do Christmas event, that is visiting the winners’ house of 4KQ Christmas Lights Competition . Each winner put a lot of beautiful Christmas light decorations on their house, aiming to win this competition. I visit those winners’ house every year.

This year, I went to South Residential Winner at Edens Landing. The house is very very impressive, the whole house is surrounded by a tons of light decorations.  It lighted up the whole area!

Moreover, I love there are star-shaped  light decorations at the roof. They keeps to flashing. That looks firework on the sky!

Besides of light decorations, they placed the Christmas Figures at their Garden, such as three wisdom kings and Mary.

Also, the house owner put a Santa’s sleigh in their garden. You can sit in there and take photo with friends. That is very very cool!

The owner house is so generous.  They opened a part of their house and put Christmas  decorations in there. For example their living room.

Wow,that is a “Christmas Home”!

And they placed a little toy train set in one of their room, I suggest that must be polar express!

This house is very very cool! Please don’t miss this event!

Address:11 Lucy Drive, Edens Landing

Tonight, I went to the city to watch the Myer Christmas Parade 2013. Same as previous years, there were a lot of performers dressed as Christmas figures such as Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men.

Of course, this year’s parade had something new. For example, in the parade team, there were some huge floating Christmas figures. They were very cute!

Few days ago, I went to City. I found there are a lot of new Christmas decorations in Queen Street and a big Christmas tree in King George Square.  They reminded me Christmas is coming and there will be a lot of Christmas events in Queen Street mall. The largest one is Christmas Parade. It will be held from 13/12 to 22/12, 6.30pm every night.  More than 200 performers will take part in this parade. That sounds a must-do event!
