Some years ago I went in to the city to see the NYE fireworks, because I’d never done it. Never again. It was so crowded, people crushing everywhere, and didn’t even get a good view. Flinders street station was a total nightmare trying to get train home. I think the only sensible way to do it would be to book a hotel room with a view and watch from balcony, or stay home and watch on tv. The city is a total disaster on new years.
