[quote=JABAROOTOO,262870]Private fireworks have been banned in Australia for many years but on New Years Eve there are so many public places to safely enjoy a fireworks display.

Usually one at 8/9.00pm for the younger children followed by another at midnight.  The most significant and spectacular display taking place on Sydney's Harbour bridge with street and park parties all over the place.  For many years people flock to the headland near our home to enjoy the fireworks from at least four different locations.

Here in China private fireworks were banned in large cities until last year.  I have spent three New Years here and haven't seen a fireworks display of any kind on New Year's Eve. 
  
It has been rather an anti-climax but this has not been a  traditional Chinese date to celebrate.  Only the last two years have we enjoyed a public holiday for the occasion.

During Spring Festival it is a big deal but needless to say a little dangerous and very noisy for many days.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all[/quote]
