Kirribilli
New Years Eve Wedding Anniversary
12 Months Married!!! Woot-Woot-Whoop-Whoop
We’re pretty excited about today and are getting ourselves sorted to head over the city to Kirribilli/Milson’s Point to our friends apartment to take in the fireworks and NYE celebrations from here: OMG… This time 12 months ago it was -5 degrees and we were in Nantwich saying YES, now here in Sydney – its a bit hard to believe & is a bit odd with us not being able to be with everyone who was there!

Bascially we are going here:

Our First Time In KirriBilli, Sydney
Before we came over to Australia, V got in touch with an old work colleague from Nantwich, who now lives in Sydney with her Irish boyfriend. We met them last week up near where we are living in Darlinghurst, and last night they invited us over to theirs apartment where we have been invited for New Years Eve…
The view from V&F's Balcony in Kirribilli over Sydney Harbour Bridge
I swear – this picture isn’t zoomed or anything – that is the view straight off their lounge… They were quite nonchalant about the view, saying that the constant fireworks and celebrations at either the bridge or the opera house generally interrupt them every time they watch a DVD. I think secretly they know how we feel about it – because surely they felt the same when they first saw that view!
They basically live looking straight out over the Sydney Harbour Bridge (Some great pictures of it being built here), CBD and the Sydney Opera House – it is possibly one of the most iconic views in the world – how could you get used to it? They basically live looking over this view: Syndney Harbour Satellite Picture
The views of the city office blocks, hotels and towers lighting up and the sun setting and reflecting off all of the glass was fairytale – almost the complete turn around from where we got engaged at the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden almost 3 years to the day ago – but the colours, the reflections and the light was equally mesmerising. I was pretty lucky not to get burned, as we were sat on the balcony for 10 minutes simply gawping, and well – I thought I had just managed to catch my lower legs and feet whilst we were chatting – it is SO easily done!
Anyway a few more pictures from the night in Kirribilli:
